Olympus OM-Zuiko 50mm f2.0 Macro

 

I agree with reviewers who describe this lens has having very pleasing qualities. It renders skin tones nicely, holds highlights well, and has very pleasing bokeh. In fact, I prefer the "look" of pictures taken with this lens to my pre-asph Leica...

Holds highlights well ; Nice rendering of skin tones ; Pleasing bokeh

Olympus OM-Zuiko 50mm f2.0 Macro

Build quality, optical performances, macro feature, speed (especially as a macro lens), versatility, consistency of results in every shooting conditions

Super sharp, excellent contrast and color performance

Just a little bit bulky in the OM4-T body

Olympus OM-Zuiko 50mm f2.0 Macro

 

This is one of the great little-known "sleepers" among 35mm camera lenses. I honestly think it's a better lens in virtually every way than the vaunted Leica 50mm Summicron. Unlike most macros, it's fast enough, and the right focal length, to use as a...

Perfect all-purpose normal lens. Great sharpness, speed, close-focus, angle of view
