I've talked with a few list members over the years off list about the
different characteristics of the fast/slow Olympus lenses, and I'm wondering
how others feel about this topic.
I've gotten caught up in the past with the faster and more expensive Olympus
lenses, many of which I've sold. From lenses I've owned, it seems that the
28/2 and 100/2 are cooler (sharper, but less warm)than their f/2.8
counterparts. If any of you have tested, does there seem to be certain
situations that the older single coated lenses are superior?
With the 28/2, I loved the black and white results, but when shooting
slides, I didn't like the color cast at all, so sold the lens. I sold the
35/2 I owned, although it seemed warmer than the fast 28/2 and 100/2.....
So while the 90/2, 50/2, 28/2, 100/2, etc. are sharper, and "world class" is
sharper always best? I find myself grabbing the 50/3.5 and 100/2.8 for
consistent and likable images more often than their faster counterparts.
Any ideas out there?
James.
