There is something in a lens so sharp in center that huge vignetting just is not that important.

Distortion "corrected" in LR3

And something in the swirly bokeh of a lens only intended to sit on a security CCTV, watching a dark corner.

Here's one from our terrace at 23.55 - with only one light under the rain.

I think I love ISO1600 and a fast prime.

A little time on the terrace with adapted lenses.

Another M.Zuiko kit lens surprise.

PP via LR3. The color is correct: went up there with my laptop to check side by side.

So I took the old 50/1.4 out and decided to put it to good use.
Not as sharp as the 40/1.8 which fits my E-PL1 like a glove, but it has its virtues, wide open and not.
