I've probably said too often already how much I admire the results David
Irisarri gets with his 50/1.2, but based on the scans he's uploaded to his
website, if I were to begin using the OM system for serious portraiture the
first lens I'd get would be the 50/1.2 - not the 85/2, or any other
conventional portrait lens. And I suspect that for portraiture the 55/1.2
would do as well.
Maybe it's the bokeh, maybe it's the combination of wonderful subject
resolution combined with a soft background, maybe it's the quality of his
scans, or maybe it's just David's lovely models, but every time I visit his
website I tell myself I've gotta get that 50/1.2 some day.
