I have all three lenses and, for me, the OM is the one. I shoot at f2 - 2.8,
rarely f4.

Subject: [OM] One more lens to look for--shot of new member of the family
Minority Moose writes >>From about 1:4 or 1:5 to infinity, an excellent lens,
but I bought it >>for macro. The highly vaunted OM Z. 90mm is nicely
corrected a wide open and for the narrow dof aficionadi that might be
important. I had been skeptical that is is really much better than the
tammy 90 or vivitar S1 90mm (same optically as the Tokina ) which can go 1:1
with matching TC. Later (?4 years ago) saw a thread on FM with identical
nice shots at lower mag where the OMZ 90 excels compared to the VivS1 at
moderate aperture, IIRC. The OMZ did indeed have something alittle extra
despite nearly identical MTF curves. The background separation was just a
wee bit nicer with a 3D effect. The competition images were nice too and w/o
A:B comparison nothing m
ight be missed. Worth the extra dosh? I don't know but am now convinced it
is a bit different. Clearly not worth it for Moose who wanted it to excel at
higher mags. Actually the Viv S1 90mm withe the matched TC at 1:1 has a tad
less LoCA than Big Foot despite the latter being "APO". I am not trading in
BF anytime soon though. I like the Viv S1 for film and digital and
grabbed a quick hand-held shot this weekend of our new family member.
