[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The lens quality on the Pen F is shockingly bad you'd expect a lot more from Olympus certainly the major week link I the system as I look at it. I am though basing that certainly overly broad assumption opinion on just a few lenes I have the 38mm F. Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.8 And the 100mm E. Zuiko Auto-T 1:3.5 Both dogs. Woof! A darned shame. Glass made for the smaller image circle of "half frame" should be sharper than normal 35mm. With the flange distance I thin you can put Leica m glass on it. Which would be 8 times sharper than the garbage I have so far to shoot with it. I can only think all the brilliant R&D which went into the camera left not enough over for the glass. Should be the other way round ideally. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Frank Filippone <red735i@earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:36:32 -0700 > To: 'Leica Users Group' <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Olympus Pen F Camera and lenses...... > > Does anyone have an opinion about the Lens quality?
