I'd like to know if any list's member can shows me lenses with moderate
contrast from the Zuiko's. I bought a 50mm f/1.4 >1,000,000 and I found it
very contrasty - that's not what I like on a lens, I prefer that ones with
moderate contrast instead.
Thanks in advance

I believe it's much easier to reduce the contrast of a lens than increase
it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong: doesn't a ND filter also reduce
contrast in addition to the light reduction (one could us a polarizer for
this too)?
Soft focus, fog, or diffusion filters typically reduce contrast, but they
also reduce resolution.

A neutral density filter that would make you operate the lens wide
open should reduce contrast, resolution and increase some of the
aberrations. A low contrast film that matches your vision would be
the ticket, I think.
