suggest that the difference between the 28mm f2.0 and 28mm
f2.8 are as follows: the f2.0 is sharper but has noticeable barrel
distortion, while the f2.8 is the opposite (but is much cheaper).
The lens tests at
<http://www.photodo.com/prod/lens/35lensesmtf.shtml#Olympus>http://www.photodo.com/prod/lens/35lensesmtf.shtml#Olympus
do not include both lenses, but the grade for the f2.0 is only a
2.6/5.0, only average. Considering that I use my wide angles
mainly to photograph buildings, I think the f2.8 is the better lens
considering the lessened barrel distortion. Any comments?
I think the 28/2 is MUCH better since I just bought one :-) ( but have not
used it yet...)
Uh, you know what a true zuikoholic would say (which I guess I'm not one --
yet): get BOTH and find out yourself. In fact, get several of each to get
the best ones... :-)
