Got this before xmas, but did not have much chance to try it out till today.

Have to say very pleased with results, handles great on x-e2 with grip.

Long throw on MF can increase focusing time though.

Taken with X-E2 with -2 in camera sharpening -2 noise reduction

jpegs from camera with little sharpening in PS CC after resizing.


F4 1/400 EC =0.67 iso 5000

F2.5 1/400 EC =0.33 iso 4000

F4 1/400 EC =0.67 iso 3200

F2.5 1/400 EC =0.67 iso 2000

I have the same lens, and agree that it's very good. And perfectly usable wide open.

-2 in camera sharpening? I need to read about this, it's effective for sure.
That dog, did he steal a piece of ham from your sandwich? Very Happy

-2 in camera sharpening is also called soft in the sharpening settings, i prefer sharpening jpgs in PS

The dog was after the bread for birds, pug's are very hungry dogs and will eat almost anything Smile

great pictures. It's one of my favorite lens.

Why such ISO? Surly that camera can handle lower right?
