I do truly enjoy my S-T 55/2. As old as it is, it still feels - and shoots - like it is brand new. And if I had to choose a single lens from among my little lens covey to keep, the S-T would be my choice.
But a Meyer-Optik Oreston 50/1.8 spends a lot of time on my SP1000. Why? Its close-focus capability - about 8 inches - extends flexibility by almost a foot.
It does not have the silken build quality of my S-T, but it does have excellent sharpness and contrast, and dreamy bokeh:
What are y'all's favorites?
