I'm looking to replace a 55mm landscape lens, so around the 50 mark. I want to focus on darkroom printing so flatness of field and corners are a big deal as I can't correct for it in post.
The 30/2.8 I consider more a jack of all trades / walkaround lens. I don't usually shoot street or landscapes that wide, otherwise I'd get a 28/3.5 in a heartbeat. I think of the 30 more as a replacement for a point & shoot. It makes for a lovely portrait wide angle.
This will be blasphemy to some - I did have the PK 85/1.8 in pristine condition and it didn't do it for me, especially b&w just seemed 'off'. Right now the zuiko 85/2 fills this spot (RIP Olympus... ) it will get replaced with another sonnar or enhanced ernostar (auto taks or SMC 85/1.9)
Anyway thanks guys, I will hoover up some 50's today and see whats what. Good thing they're relatively common & cheap
