Found the perfect walk around...Updated
So I would have to say my #1 nitpick with m4/3 is also one of its best features.. For different reasons of course... For reach 2x multiplier rocks! right??? I just got a 200mm 2.8 for 180 bucks... However for a street shooter 2x sucks with a good 50mm offering...
I'm not a fan of the 20 1.7 (will actually be selling my copy today) on the EP-2 because of AF.. On the GF1 it rocked! And 40mm is just a little short of what I would want in a walk around... I love my 15mm but even wide open too much is in focus.. However for Landscapes I am using it more and more...
My 2 newest lenses... the 50 1.1 and 35 1.2 are phenomenal... DoF is razor thin... For low light and portraiture they are perfect.. Way too heavy for a walk around and minimum focus is a little too long for all around use... Don't get me wrong... I absolutely Love them... Just the hundred or so shots I have taken with them have impressed the hell out of me...
This was last night... Wide open I want to say with the 50 as I was swapping them both out...
Well... While I was at Adorama I tried the Voigtlander 28 F/2... OMG... 56 is a bit long for a WA.. However the dozen or so shots I took on the way back to the office impressed the hell out of me... Already having a hard time choosing a PaD entry from the 12 shots... Will post later as I don't have a card reader in the office... But Wow... It's as light as the 15mm... Same tab focusing. Has Focus markings for aperture settings... Wow. Absolutely wow... I know this post is useless without pics, so I will add them tonight...
