I just learned that this lens exists a week or so ago. I was really hopeful that it would cover a full frame image circle but that clearly doesn't seem like it would be possible. What do you think of this lens wide open with regard to contrast and sharpness?
it barely covers an APS-C mount....

as far as optical quality, I would rate it up there with the rest of Olympus' lenses from this period: exceptional color and clarity, but the lens coatings are not up to today's standards....

I'll do some shooting this afternoon with the lens wide open & we'll see how she does....

firstly, I found some vignetting at f1.4 (APS-C sensor):



I can't see where this would honestly ever be a real-world issue, simply because I'd never shoot this shot at f1.4, and I'd probably just crop a bit if I had this issue anyway...

this is the worst vignetting I've seen in a long time from anything in my collection and was honestly surprised when I viewed this series of images....

so far, it seems quite sharp and contrasty at f1.4... but with any fast lens, critical focus is going to be tricky and easily missed...
