Konica AR adapter from RJ arrived today, it went straight onto my E-P2, and I went out into a breezy low sun to see how the 28mm worked ... well it does a nice close focus, and it flares like a mutha, even with the (very cool) original rectangular hood. Again, not posted for compositional beauty (or sharpness), but there's just something about the colour rendition on this shot. I think I may use the lens quite a lot, the angle of view suits me nearly as well as the 17mm kit lens. I'll try to post something better when I am less rushed.
it is quite a nice lens EP-1 28mm f3.5 - £20 off Ebay - 1/125 sec ISO 800 @ f3.5, (I'm almost sure) {}
The problem I get when using all these manual lenses on my EP 1 is focus and remembering the f value Focus - a little easier with my G1 - but still not great, plus I wear glasses
I'm using the EVF and am starting to get the hang of using focus assist/focus zoom; I just wish it was 3x and 5x rather than 7x and 10x; I don't naturally have a steady hand unfortunately. I've only had this camera about 3 months, after years of using a Canon IXUS750 p&s (beautiful image quality); and prior to that a very long gap in taking pictures since my Pentax MX (or was it an MC?) in the early '90s. So I'm very much relearning (or even learning) decent technique. I do miss a "proper" focusing screen, but I could not resist the E-P2 when I decided to go for a more flexible device
I have 2 of these lenses. The older model, it has the half stops, it is marked EE instead of AE and only goes to f16.
If you have used this with a pany m4/3, is there an issue with camera shake with this lens? dbuckle lovely shots by the way, the shot of the sun through the trees is lovely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbenn03/
Bought one this week, being made curious by dbuckle. I compared it with the best 28mm I have, a Minolta MD 28/2, and the Hexanon 28/3.5 is a little behind in corner sharpness, but it's still a nice lens. The picture shows our dog Deco hoping for my wife to come home; she's his favourite. Took this grab shot because I had my reading/PC glasses on and thought: "now is the time to take a picture with the LCD." I cheated by focussing with the GH2's viewfinder, but the shot was taken with the camera at arm's length which I hardly ever do. It's quite sharp, and that at 1/40 s without IBIS, but the focus is a bit off: you shouldn't focus with the viewfinder and then move the camera closer to the subject for taking the picture! {}
Had this lens for some time now but got around to shooting with it only yesterday. Got a question: when I shake the lens there's some rattling sound, like there's something loose inside and that something is jumping all over the place. Is it normal for this lens or not?
