Just got one for my MFT mount Oly E-M10. I'm really looking forward to making some images with this thing.
For a mere $220, delivered, this has to be the undervalued lens deal of the year!
It's corner-to-corner sharp, wide open, on MFT. Not sure how it fares on the NEX.
I thought the moderate 2.8 aperture would be a bit of a bokeh handicap but it's likely to be just fine for most of the shots I'll use it for and the bokeh is looking pretty smooth on the few scenes I've composed with it so far.
Min focus distance is about enough to make a bit more than the palm of my hand fit the whole frame.
It even includes a nice nylon carrying case and a hood.
If you've been craving the impressive performance of the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 but balk at the cost, this is a lot more affordable and darn near as sharp if you check the charts on DxOmark.
Some outlining and a bit of onionskin on out of focus highlites is the worst thing I can see about its performance.
AF is quick and almost silent, likely suitable for video even with in-camera mic's.
It's not very large physically either, tho it is a bit odd looking with the smooth finished barrel, all of which is an MF ring.
I recommend it, good value for the money, especially at this price.
