I was going for the 50mm 1.4 but I've been thinking tonight how I don't need AF, So I started looking at:
Leica Summicron -R 50mm f/2 or the carl Zeiss planar T* 50mm f/1.7 Which one would you get, I can't decide.

Hmm I did look at the Sigma but for some reason I wernt so keen on it, I have heard great reviews about it but something keeps pulling me away from it.

OM mount, right? The 50/f2 is a weird "Power focus" lens for the OM 101 and probably not a good choice. Any of the other 50/55 OM Zuikos would be better.

Jan 12, 2010 19:15 | #8 Thanks for the input, I've not looked at 50 OM Zuikos they do a 1.2 version? Damn! I have not idea how much these are worth checked ebay on the 55mm 1.2 one and someone is trying to sell it for £299, "The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer."
