What do you think about this one?
I really like this focal lengh and I have some friends interested in this lens.
I know that almost all Olympus lenses are great but I didn't see many comments about this 85mm. |

It is actually surprisingly good some how, though my experience is short.

Why surprisingly ? I know you have many great lenses so I am curious very much about why a surprise ?

Lots of people say that Z85/2 is very soft at wide open and
getting better when you closing down. And comparing with
other 85mm lenses, it does perform well indeed.
I have not checked against light source, so not sure about
lens' ability to suppress flare. I have not used much 85/2,
nor other 85mm or longer lenses, so my comment is a grain
of salt or smaller.

Ah got it thanks! My copy not soft all, great performer even at wide open, but more hard to handle wide open than Zeiss lenses.
