Photax-Paragon 100mm f2.8 on M4/3

[EdH]

I'd forgotten about this lens. I found it on ebay for £20 and then haven't done anything with it. Decided to stick it on the E-PM1 and pop out into the garden for some test shots. It's better than I remember it. The aperture blades are a bit lazy, sticking at about f5.6-f8, although it goes further if you turn the aperture ring faster!

Can get a a bit glowy wide open and a bit soft. Sharpens up by f4.

Not bad-seems pretty sharp but lacks a little bit of contrast.
