Here the roof of the Milan train station with a Switar 25 1.4,
I do not manage to get sharp images with it, is it normal?

Interesting composition, the lack of sharpness seems to be either camera shake, possibly out of focus though. What shutter speed did you use?

If so, post up here!

Contrast is low, probably partly caused by shooting through a window. Sharpness in the centre looks acceptable, although we're not 100 % viewing here. Moving to the borders lens aberrations become quite apparent. These lenses were not designed for today's high-resolution sensors and neither for the µ4/3 sensor area, apparent from the severe vignetting. Your 1/30s shutter speed may also have lead to non-optimal sharpness. Attractive as they may be, you shouldn't expect too much from old cine-lenses in terms of optical performance.
