Arrived in the post yesterday - ran out to the garden after work today to give it a try (on G1, hand-held)

Impressed by first sight...(reduced image followed by full size crop - no other adjustments)

Full size, from top left -

Not the prettiest looking lens, but the samples sure make up for that.

The lens is surely not as fancy as some other legacy glass around, but the image quality is fascinating! Congrats on your new purchase!

I've been eying up these shops for some time and happened to be in the neighbourhood today with a camera - bit soft but hey!

May be you moved a little. I don't see EXIF, what would the shutter speed be like?

1/125 so yes, it could be shake but also I might not have hit the focus too well (in a rush - my parking time was run out)

There are about 7 of these bays in a row, each one built the same but all with their own character. Will nip back in the holidays when I have more time.

Looks even better on the E-P1 in my view:

...and the dimunitive size is a bonus compared to the giant Oly 40-150mm I have (the 4/3 version)

Apo-Lanthar and Olympus Zuiko 40-150mm (4/3) side-by-side:

You mean the two lenses?

Is it fixed now?

adash · « **Reply #14 on:** July 15, 2010, 06:11:40 AM »

It is. Good comparison.

Spent some time in the garden this afternoon between the showers. The 90mm does well at close range...

Quite happy with the DoF and the way it handles colour:
