For years I’ve been a big fan of lenses, everybody’s lenses! \u00a0When I worked for Nikon as a Tech Rep, \u00a0I tested hundreds of lenses and for my own curiosity I’ve tested hundreds more! \u00a0One lens I have always admired and heard great things about was the Olympus 75mm f 1.8. \u00a0I never was an Olympus shooter so I never had any real personal experience with it. \u00a0When I decided to pick up a Panasonic Lumix GX85,\u00a0(a Micro 4\/3rds sensor camera), I now had a camera that could accept that lens, so I picked one up and boy am I excited with the images!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About the lens, because it is used n micro 4\/3rds sensor and a 2X crop factor, \u00a0the focal length is the equiv. of a 150mm with a maximum, aperture of f 1.8. \u00a0It is a odd focal length but a great moderate telephoto with exceptional performance and fast to boot! \u00a0it is physically small and handles very well on the small range finder style body, the GX85. \u00a0The images below are just random shots I took this morning driving around Corbin with Chester. \u00a0All handheld, see what you think?<\/span><\/p>\n

I know Sharpness is hard to evaluate on the internet, but the files are impressive on my computer screen, even at 100%! \u00a0Not the most exciting subject matter, but I felt the lens performed very well! \u00a0I would welcome your comments and thoughts!<\/span><\/p>\n
