from eBay Summary: Amazingly compact and fairly light, yet the photo quality is excellent. The miniaturization seems to have exacted no optical penalties whatsoever. Mine is an early model single-coated silver nose version, but it is still very contrasty and sharp. I see no obvious faults in any of the photos I have taken. Strengths: Compact, rugged, sharp, contrasty, no obvious distortions. It uses the small 49mm filters that most of the shorter Zuiko lenses use. An absolute must-own lens for any Zuikoholic. Very wide applications and fast enough for a lot of low light work with the new fast films. Weaknesses: You will probably pay more for this one than the longer and just-as-fast 135mm f2.8 Zuiko, due to it''s huge popularity. Similar Products Used: Canon 85mm f1.8 Customer Service: Never used Olympus service. I buy only used Olympus gear and Camtech does all my service work. They do a very good job.
