[OM] Re: Zuiko 90/2 vs. Tamron 90/2.8

[Olympus Mailing List]

I really love my Tokina.  I think the Zuiko 90mmf2 is got a bit better 
bokeh, but not a $600 better bokeh; So I agree there. 

Sharp??  HA!!  It's __S H A R P__  I love mine.  I wouldn't trade it for 
anything, even the Zuiko 90mmf2!  That's how much I love my tokina 90mmf2.5. 

I use it for head and shoulders shots, and it's sharp as well (gf says too 
sharp).  But I drop it to f2.5, and it's a bit soft, but you get good 
background blur and the bokeh is decent. 

Can't go wrong with the tokina or Tamron.
