No review on the Olympus OM shown in the headline photo? His overview is thorough. Plusses include sharp central images at all focal lengths at very useful apertures according to Ken , a class leading low weight of circa 13 ounces! The latter means I can adapt the lens to K-mount easily, losing only auto-focus and, as is usual in these cases, the lens will require step down metering. The negatives are typical of its era — some resolution issues in the corners and waviness in the distortion characteristic. But I think Ken may be right about its mostly clear, modern rendering… something to consider given the well known limitations of vintage primes in the ultrawide FL range.
The corner sharpness of my copy is perfect at F8. Tested on my Sony A7 These behavior astonished me after reading your preview. So maybe you could review another copy of that great lense. A very useful comparison. I was interested to see your comment on the decentering of your Ultron, Philip — I really enjoyed many aspects of the copy that I had, until I more rigorously tested for decentering, and then it became obvious in almost everything I shot. A great little lens, if only they could get on top of their quality control, which is so cruelly exposed by the high resolution sensor in the A7RII.
I now shoot with a Loxia which is close to the Ultron, but lacks some of its character. Cosina also had some serious issues with the 4. The only way to deal with this is to buy from a source where it is easy to return the lens. Any chance Zeiss would loan you one to make an addendum? I have to say that I get to like the OM lenses more and more. Very good review…but I was a bit disappointed. Problem with the Canon was the focusing ring with a bit of play and the plasticky feel… So I saw your ratings of the Minolta lenses not bad and went long with the Minolta lenseswhich have much better mech feel including buying a 24 f 2.
Continue the good work. I would like to ask if you are planning on reviewin the original Zeiss 21mm f2. By all accounts the Loxia 2. Adapter thickness is totally critical with the Distagon. Hello My 2 cents worth. I know this lens is in some ways incompatible, but it works amazingly well, Sony mm f4 from 12 to 17mm it covers full frame and it very good to the extreme edge which is a big surprise, a bargain too. I was Surprised my joint favorite lens is not listed, Zeiss 35mm f1. Also the Zeiss 28mm f2. The jury is out on the Loxia 21mm, I find it too sharp and does not render as beautifully as the classic 21mm f2.
Zeiss 18mm f4 ZM fantastic rendering again but suffers lots of flare soft in the extreme corners. Zeiss 25mm f2 Batis number 1 lens awsome replaced my Zeiss 25mm f2 swore I never sell it but Batis better everywhere. Sony 28mm f2 brilliant value for money.

The way you review lenses, which simply sounds a personal hobby as well as a practical guide to many, is also heartwarming to me. Hi any experience with the old Sigma 24mm 2. The sharpness is ok to good stopped down, but manual focusing is not a great experience: Optically it is one of the best classic 24mm lenses. I agree with what Bastian said about the mechanics though and would add not that great coatings. Hi Bastian Thanks for your reply! The pb is that you end up buying only zeiss and leica lens: Count in Voigtlander, but apart from that: Does anybody know when Sony may release a wide angle zeiss quality prime lens in the mm FL range?
In A mount they have a Zeiss 24mm f2 though its performance is lackluster. But that is pure speculation. Some of them perform well on Dxo website, and easier and cheaper to by them used than Sony e mount lenses. It would be interesting to see how good they are compare with the sony, zeiss or old manual lens.

Older EF 24 mm f2. Dxo score is really good for usm. With Sigma Mc 11 could be a good alternative for Canon 24mm nFd, because now you can hardly find 24 nFd 2. And since that is quite important to me I am nit too tempted by lenses like the EF 2. I was planning to go FF with Canon 6d but after reading a lot of your blog posts thank you very much: With it came the mm which I plan to use for family events with children running around and have the Irix 15mm 2.
I ride my bike a lot around dawn pre-work so I was thinking about a manual 35mm lens for bike rides. I am torn between Pentax SMC 35mm f2. Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2. I am not a fan of Samyang lenses in general but maybe the 2. Did you have a look at the Zuiko OM 1: I bought it after having used a Schneider 35mm PA Curtagon for a while and I must say the Zuiko shift is such a phenomenal lens and fun item to use. Not only for architecture, but also if you shift downward for a dramatic foreground!

On a stand I shift upwards, take a left shift, middle, and right shift image, then shift down and take another 3 pics as above. These 6 shots can then be combined into a panorama stich without having moved the camera on the stand at all…. There is also a review here: I think they had to disclose this mess only because of the recengly enforced data protection laws.
Not for me really. Shall I mail you a dropbox link where you can get some examples? Hi Phillip, finally I got away with the personalisation settings in Flickr. Here is a link if you want to check out some pics taken with the EOS 5D ii, new pics with the adaptation to my new Sony a7r iii will follow. A few more pics with the OM Zuiko 3. Note that I had to compress the pics a bit more in order to be accepted by Flickr. Otherwise non-touched original JPEG photos. You will have a hard time finding anything better than the Sony FE 24mm 1.
There are also some alternatives listed. Hi Bastian, I own a Canon 50mm f1. I was actually thinking into this direction, especially regarding the price… Thanks anyway. I might just try another manual lens listed above with an aperture not that fast.
