Got this lens recenlty and to day I had some nice sky to test it out, since I hate winter. Im pretty much blown away by photos by the photos of this tiny lens. Its sharp throughout, and great wide open. I havent had the time to test it against my 17-40 L but i will.
Some examples, straight from camera just resized, both @f8 i think.
BTW, this is the most interesting building in my town 
Some edited photos:

Thanks. This one has MC on the front, I hear they were pretty rare. Its a very very nice lens, great sharpness and contrast even wide open.
Wide open ISO 3200, just resized.

Yes, MC labelled are more rare than others, but no matter any of them just good, even cheapest ones 50mm, 28mm etc I love them all.
I had 24mm f2 in past what is wonderful in Olympus OM lenses, slower ones just good as than faster ones and usually we can pick them up for lot less.

I have one of the last manufactured series, a nMC (not labeled as MC).
Lens sharpness is excellent, form factor also, the only faults are to don't have excellent flare resistance (but it's not bad) and to show some distortion. On internet they say that is barrel typed but it's not, at least my copy has moustache distortion that the PS or lightroom slider can't correct. fortunately PTLens is cheap and has a Zuiko 24 profile.
Pretty recent shots, daylight at f8. Night ones f4-f5.6

Great shots!
I didnt see any flare problem with this lens, sure you expect some with a wide angle lens. I do keep a lens hood on mine at all times, since the lens is pretty small its no problem.

Wow really nice! It reminds me of my Pentax K30/2.8 in term or sharpness and rendering.
I just bought a Yashica DS-M 24/2.8 and it's probably in transit right now.
Does any know how is it compared to the Olympus 24/2.8?

I don't mean that it's weak, when it flares it doesn't lose contrast and it is not that prone to flate, it just that it isn't excelent. The Nikkors usually are better lenses to place the sun inside the frame.

This is the one lens I've been trying to hunt down for WAY too long. It goes for a lot nowadays. People have really been picking up on buying this baby. One of the last lenses I'd really like in my lineup. |
