Any more piccies Mo?
Looks great from the blue-tongue image.
I would love to try one of these but it is a bit out of my price range for the few that I have seen.
I picked up a Canon FD 2.8/100 the other day and it is on its way. Reliably informed that I might get a Fujifilm X-E1 body for my birthday if I play my cards right - so then I can try FD and AR lenses that were not possible before.
OH

I have a few more,this was a cheap buy, no-one wanted it the first time around....I snared it the 2nd time around : D The canon should be a nice lens as well.

So my first post had a broken link *and* a speling error. Well done, I'd say. Smile

In any case, here's a Flickr album of my 100/2.8's, taken with either an E-P1, or an E-M1.

With the 100/2.8, I'm impressed by how much detail is preserved on the long distance lighthouse shots (about 800 meters away...) and the non-HDR cathedral photo (also about 800 meters away, more or less). In the HDR cathedral shots, I'm actually loosing detail, probably because of alignment.

Very nice album! Mine arrived about 2 weeks ago... but the weather here isn't on my hand, mostly grey and wet....

But i am looking forward to shooting with it!

The Hexanon compares favorably, when price is considered (I paid around $100 for the 100/2.8 five or so years ago, vs. $1500 for the 40-150 2.8 that I bought a couple of hours ago)

At 2.8, the Hexanon is noticeably less sharp with less contrast than the Olympus, but from F4-F8, it's comparable.

Congrats for such nice acquisition, I keep several Hexanon lenses and the 100mm is in my target, but no one has appeared at a reasonable price. (BTW, have you tried the Minolta 100mm f/2.5?. Wink You would like it Smile )

Thanks Jes,I am actually looking at collecting any reasonably priced 100mm/105mm lens that I can find. It will take some time but that's part of the enjoyment.

The Minolta Rokkor 100 / 2.5 is a joy to use. Cool

Congrats MoIra for this very nice lens.
Sun above, sun behind. You're Lucky. I only have rain, Wind and grey clouds today. Smile
