Hi everyone,

I'm about to receive this wonderful lens I've been lusting for some time now.

I can't however find examples of it being used on m43 or an OMD system and I'm anxious to know if it will shine on a m43 body.

What are your thoughs on this ? Do you think it is worth it ?

Thanks

The lens has a very good reputation, and you got it for much less then going prices.
I don't know how will it perform on your OMD, but I'm pretty sure that you won't find many better ones for that money.

In fact I'm just curious whether or not it will keep this zeiss rendering and micro contrast we can see on FF bodies ?

Are you talking about the Z-Series f2/100mm Makro Planar?

Just browse this forum OMD in my opinion better than most m4/3, 4/3 what I seen, even low respected lenses perform well.

Thank you all for your thoughts

It´s the contax version

I know the OMD can do very well with this lens but I wonder if it will keep its qualities on m4/3 format ?

And finally thanks for the flikr page, nice find btw tbet aren t many example of this setup !

Well, these are from the Planar 85/1.4 on the E-M5, both taken wide open at f/1.4:

I am happy with how the lens works. Especially for portraiture.
