>>>50mm f/1.8 MC Zuiko
This is the first version of the multi-coated 50mm f/1.8 Previously I
tested
the later "Made in Japan" version. The contrast in this one rivals the
250mm
f/2 Zuiko, although the resolution isn't as high. Acquiring one of these
is
probably the single cheapest investment to sharp pictures an OM user
could
make.<<<
Gary,
I wonder if you've ever compared this lens to the Mandler Summicron-M.
The cross sections are nearly identical. I know that doesn't prove
anything, but they seem similar in character to me and it might be
interesting to test the two of them under the same conditions.
--Mike J.
P.S. Does anybody know the identifiers on the various versions of this
lens? I have, I think, three of them...
