I'm not suprised of this stuff rendition, and i presume the cat is taken at wide open 
So what do you think so far of this camera and its design ? and the viewfinder ? cos some say its kinda "dark". I had a full mat screen and with the 1.4 50mm it was a real pleasure.

Hexi, yes cat shot was either wide open or at f2.8.  The VF is
awesome, like going to the cinema as one forumer said, long ago.
I took the hotshoe off and stored it, I seldom use a flash oncamera,
anyway, always off, via pc cord.
Love this camera, the design is well-thought out, what a contribution
from Maitani-san! |

Peter, what can I say, when it comes to GAS, I'm insatiable! I'll be
getting another one of these, always like pairs when it comes to faves.
Thanks for your comments. |

I have this in the f:3.5/28mm version. Nice, small, and very sharp.
I believe you will have a lot of fun and success with this lens.

Rolf, love your product photos and that's a great flower shot! I have the
exact same lens only mine is older, serial #130844. It did very well on
my Olympus e300 so hopefully will give me good results.
Thanks for your comments and link!
