I just got a olympus zuiko mc auto-s 50/1.8
The zuiko give a beautiful bokeh(In my opinion) and kind of swirly bokeh (sometime) which is I really love it so bad.

I'm looking for a new lens (only wide angle lens and normal lens) that give a result like zuiko.
and How about Carl Zeiss Contax planar t* 50mm f/1.4? I heard its a good one that give sharpen and wide open


Here Example from zuiko
I can't post photo. so here imgur link [url]http://imgur.com/a/9DaoO [/url]

First post?

If so, photos will not display until quoted by forum member as anti spam measure. I think they should work now.

If you want a wide angle lens that has nice bokeh, look for lenses that are fast, like a 28/2 or faster.
One of my favourite 28's is my X-Fijinon 28/1.9,
My FD SSC 24/1.4 is a boat load of fun, but it's not ideal for landscapes because the corners are not as sharp.

Lightshow is right. You'll need speed for bokeh at wide angle, and that's money.
I happen to find the zuiko bokeh ugly (1.4/50), but I like it on my 2/28 zuiko and 2/40 zuiko.
I imagine if you're already a fan, you might like the 2/28 zuiko even more.
2.8/28 AI-S Nikkor fantastic, with very short MFD, but even more pricey.
Takumar 2/35 can be had for cheapish, and has most interesting/swirly bokeh, but very distorted and not very sharp open.
Then there's the economical choices, Mir-1 2.8/37 (not very wide) and oresegon 2.8/29 (not very sharp, but swirly/interesting bokeh).
Good luck with your search!

The Planar 50/1.4 is excellent, but needs to be stopped down to f/2.8 for best results. I don't like it wide open, same with the 85/1.4.

....He was looking for wide angle....if you read the thread. And good to know Planar is sharp at 2.8. Good contribution overall.

Have you ever used Yashica ML 50/1.7?

Can old fujinon mount with mirrorless directly or must use with adapter.

My gear is XT-1.

for a fast wide angle you could get a Kiron (or Vivitar) 2/28mm.. can make a interesting bokeh.

you need a adapter, it's a different mount.

As Jan has said.
Here is my X-Fujinon 1.9/28 on X-E1
Notice the adapter



Here is a link to images taken with this lens on X-E1
