This lens is rather "old" lens. Is there anything more "modern" and equally efficient and spendurous than this 75mm ? Click on the captured screen for the page I pick it from. Thank you !
After all the lens is from 2013... right ? Announced in May 2012...

Just the various Olympus f/1.2 primes. But if you can manage the focal length and find it used there's almost no greater bang for buck when it comes to sharpness and bokehliciousness. Got mine for $550 and it's on my camera by default nowadays
The Oly 45 is great too.

Thank you CyVan. But since I have the Panny 42,5mm f/1.2 I am not interested in the Oly 45
However, a greater focal distance would be welcome.
Anyway, I think I am diving into the 75 pretty soon !

I meant the Oly 45 f1.8 in terms of bang for buck. The 45 1.2 and 42.5 1.2 are too pricey to be considered the same

Bello scatto come quello nella gallery dell'Oly 25 f1,2.
Il 75 è un rasoio e lo stacco dei piani sensazionale.
Ciao

AFAIK the only lenses that are similar to the 75 in terms of speed and image quality but longer than 75 are the old SHG lenses like the 35-100/2.0 and 150/2.0, but they are big, heavy, discontinued and have slow auto focus. Maybe the new Panasonic 200/2.8 will also be comparable, but it's much longer and costs a fortune...
