Here is the first couple shots with this lens. I love it. I can't believe the $ for value for this lens. Incredible build quality and these first couple quick images show real promise. Please let me know what you think my friends.Resize from raw no other adjustments camera is 40D Very Happy

The rendering seems very nice with these close-ups. The bokeh of course is that of a super wide angle, but once stopped down, it's pleasing and contributes to a nice feeling of depth (3D).

Run a roll of film through a full frame camera, however. I don't want to cool your enthusiasm and I am sure that the lens will do well, but for all super wide angles (including the super expensive ones), the corner performance is the Achille's heel (and the benchmark).

@ Orio
Yes, I will try it on the Aria soon to look at the corner sharpness full frame. I agree about the open Bokeh. For me I seldom shoot wides like this one more open than f8. The main reason I bought this lens is that no one else bid more than me ($230)Shocked Already I have the zuiko 21/2 I don't expect this ML to outperform it. In all the scientific tests I have seen. The zuiko 21 is only bested by the CCZ in this focal for sharpness and better for distortion control. That being said this still looks like a nice value and a great street reflex lens.

@ Poilu

Yah Yah Smile no distagon 21 in my future Thanks for the charts I lost these links nice to have them again.

I plan to do a full tripod comparison outdoors in full light with both lenses. The results I will put here on the forum. June will bring our fantastic clear weather. I will be testing alot of lenses in that month. All my results will be posted. And the best looking shots will go in MF gallery. Sorry to make such a long wait for the zuiko 21/2 and 90/2. samples Embarassed

No problem, nice light more important than anything else, in crappy weather you can't make tests this is clear to me. Many thanks in advance!
