This is the same lens.
Zuiko OM has 2 versions: single coated and later MC. Get the MC if possible.
I would go for the nikkor 28mm f2 version. Still possible to find a deal here. Got my full of fungus cheap and serviced.
Otherwise, I recommend Zeiss contax 2.8/28 with adapter. 2/28 hit the mirror on 5dm2, but it's a keeper.
I vote for the Samyang 35/1.4. Very good lens for the money. Will discuss comparison with nikkor and zeiss contax later. Qualitywise, it is surprisingly better in many cases.
there are many 50-58 f1.2, get one or two.
there are many 85mm F1.8 or F1.4, also get f2.0.
Tamron 300mm f/2.8 LD IF, model 360B is better.
I see that you are missing tilt and shift option.
When you can find a good deal:
nikkor pc 28/3.5
Zuiko OM 35/2.8 shift MC is also very good.
Tilt option: get Carl Zeiss Jena in pentacon six mount and get a tilt/tilt-shift adapter to use on FF bodies.
Samyang 24/3.5 TS is also good, but i don't have it yet.
At last, I would like to commend that you have a very good collection already. spend time taking photos.
I stay with one lens for weeks. best wishes. |
