Re: [OM] Questions for the group

Gary wrote about the 24mm F2 saying he did not like the performance 
especially given the price. 

Here are few words in defense as I really like this lens over its slower 
sibling:

The F2 aperture definitely helps me when focusing in low light. 
The F2 does give you some measure of DOF control which is not so true with 
wides generally.(pack a ND for this in bright conditions)
The floating element does seem to help the close up performance. (my 
impression!)
The light drop off is sometimes an issue but is still a good trade off given 
the above advantages. 
I find the light drop off most objectionable when using polarizing filters.
