Olympus 75mm arriving @ B& H on July 20th!
Will you last that long? 😉
Perhaps not….LOL!
Let’s see if mine ( 75mm ) can come before 20 July 12 .
Seeing this comparison… and also from my own experience… I really have to say the Olympus 12-50 is a LOT better than its reputation. Yes… it is slow, especially at the long end, and I’d prefer a native 12-60, but the IQ is really good enough. With it’s macro mode and different zoom modes it is also pretty flexible. Also considering that you can get them pretty cheap nowadays ~€300… I really like it.
Nice sharpness over the whole frame for the 12-35, but wouldn’t expect less for the price. The amount of CA is somewhat disgruntling, but I guess it is auto-corrected in Panasonic bodies?!
Is there a link to a full resolution image? The linked image just fills the screen (hard to tell what the resolution is on the iPad..)
Resolution is 2,358×1,036. It is full resolution at 100% magnification, just cropped.
