Re: Zuiko 50/3.5
<< is a very good lens, but there are lots available on the market, this
one is a SC version, I would say $153 is a bit high. Two years ago, I
spent a few months on ebay to get a later version MC with S/N>200,000
(no MC mark). The reasons I need a good MC one was because I had a SC
before, I found it seems quite easy subject to flare at backlight
condition (no ghost image but reduced contrast). Now I have three 50/3.5
with
SN17x,xxx 18x,xxx and 21x,xxx, all MC but they have different color of
reflections on the front element, with the latest one have more green
reflections. >>
I agree with C.H.!! :-) I tested a SC too late for inclusion on the
lens test page. But it is markedly lower in resolution and contrast
than the >200,000 serial number one, which is what I believe I have SQF
results posted for. If anyone recalls lending me a multicoated 50mm
f/3.5 way back when, please let me know privately what the serial number
is.
