Ken, I am curious as to how you chose your list of Zuikos that
apparently isolate
subjects from the background well? Does it not simply have to do with
large-ish
aperture, and personal experience?
As a case in point, you did not mention the 24/2, but when
photographing subjects
closer than 2 meters I feel it has phenomenally beautiful, and subtle,
subject
isolation.
Also, you curiously omit the 50/1.8 "underdog" which, though I am not
a user of, others
claim it has splendid out-of-focus image rendition, and surely a
50/1.8 will isolate
any subject better than a 28/2?
Then there's the 40/2?
Perhaps I am just yanking your chain here, but I am curious as to why
this particular list?
:-)
