Mu-43 Regular
So I have an E-PL2 on its way to me, and I'd like to pinpoint which legacy adapter I'd like to invest in based on which "cheap" manual 50mm works the best with the m43 system. I'm younger and never had experience with manual cameras before now, so anyone else's experience or opinions are greatly appreciated.
Based on the images I've seen, most - if not all - of the f1.4 50's are way soft at maximum aperture, and the image threads show some great images from the cheaper versions. Incidentally they are a lot cheaper on Ebay and easier to pick up on older cameras for sale on Craigslist.
I happen to have picked up a OM 50mm 1.8 with OM-10 from Craigslist, so I'm basically asking for everyone's own opinions in order to decide whether I should go for the OM adapter or pick another legacy line. I'm eyeing the Minolta 50mm 1.7's on Ebay at the moment, since they seem to be highly regarded and inexpensive at the same time.
Thanks, and sorry for the rambling thread opening.
