Zuiko 40/1.4 for Olympus Pen F system. From hundreds of lenses I've used with my Nex-6 this is my favorite one - stunningly sharp at f/1.4, very compact (size of Jupiter-8 50/2) and 40 mm focal length is very versatile.


Samples from Nex-6, wide open (f/1.4), no post-processing besides resizing off course:

Does it cover ff sensor (a7)?

No, it doesn't. But you can switch APS-C crop mode on, and you get exactly the same angle of view as with Nex-6.

I have it too. I sold both the 42mm f/1.2 and the 38mm f/1.8, but kept the 40mm Wink
