'morning OM members, i've posted a few times about the 50mm/3.5 olympus
macro, and how much i like the lens. but, i am trying to find a faster 50mm
for travel and available light photography. (by the time the 50/3.5 is
stopped down 1 stop for sharpness, you're at f/5.6..... fairly slow, and
not a lot of D.O.F. options.....
anyway, i've pretty much relegated myself to a life of 40/2-less isolation,
and i wasn't happy with the clean 50/1.4 MC i owned. so, my search is for
the following: the 50/1.8 or 50/1.2...(MC examples.) or is the 55/1.2 a
viable alternative?
i would appreciate any opinions, and actual uses/ results from people who
have experience with either. i know there is a test site with a wealth of
great information, but that's not what i am looking for. it would be great
if the 50/1.8 was all that was needed, but if the 50/1.2 is that much
better, that would be interesting to know as well.
maybe the place to start is with the 50/1.8. so, if anyone has a good,
affordable sample of a late, MC 50/1.8 they would like to part with, please
let me know off list.
and if anyone has a 50/1.2 they're interested in parting with, i've got a
few lenses, and bodies that i could possibly trade as well.. (35/2, -2n
black, -2sp.) $$$ can work as payment as well.
any ideas on the above subject would be appreciated.
james.
