1. Simply great, sharp lens, and superb for tourist shots.
2. Best value lens I've ever bought!
3. Very handy for far off stuff, would prefer more expensive prime but have
covered that with Tamron etc.

1. Landscape, buildings, perspective.
2. Anything, and particularly useful for lowlight flash shots at parties
etc.
3. Sport and sailing.

1. Affordability
2. Better than 50/1.8 MIJ when speed is required.
3. No experience of other Zuiko zoom but I believe the Tamron 80-210/f3.8-4
is better (maybe).

1. 35/f2.8 Leitz Summaron - Excellent.
2. Leitz 50/f3.5 Elmar - Great standard lens. Mamiya-Sekor 50/f1.4 - On a
par with Zuiko 50/1.8.
3. Osawa 60-300 zoom - Passable quality.

1. Leitz Summaron 35/2.8 - Comparable.
2. Leitz Elmar 50/3.5 - Not as fast as Zuiko but better comparable in other
ways.
3. Osawa zooms - not nearly as good. Leitz Telyt 200mm is far better than
Zuiko zoom but a silly comparison.
