That was one of the very best f1.4 standard lenses at it's time, the early 60ies. Single coated, great for b&w. Other great M42 portrait lenses to check out on a Olympus might be the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 55/1.4 and Biotar 75/1.5, the Helios 40-2 85mm/1.5 and the Takumar 83mm/1.9, just to mention a few. There's many good M42 glass out there... Didier >Thanks for posting the lens comparison. Other lens to try in the future is the >Pentax Screw Mount 50/1.4 SMCT along with the Zuiko Digital 50/2 Macro. >Dennis >>The Summilux-R 50mm did such a nice job with portraits on the E-330, >>I couldn't miss taking a couple more: >>http://www.northcoastphotos.com/Lympa_2007_10_07.htm >>Gary Todoroff >>Tree LUGger _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
