fantastic. I have never used a manual lens on my E-400, I anticipate the camera still provides light metering info accurately, but with out a proper focusing screen like on the old om cameras... is it just guess work by eye or does the little dot appear when the image is focused?

Pin Sharp! Though I think the left side of the face is a bit overexposed..

Fantastic!

I'm drooling over the results of this lens...a much faster lens in on my never satisfied wish list. Dof is excellent-do you find that it's hard to get the focus in just the right place with such a narrow focal range?

BTW...the model isn't half bad, either--nice eyes!! :o)

lighting direction is good, main to fill ratio is too high, a reflector would help, you don't need a second strobe. DOF is very shallow, eye on the dark side is in focus the other eye is soft, just a little.

It's nice to hear such positive feedbacks from you guys ;) I just love this old lense and it's really a joy to play with it. It's not so difficult to fokus with it - I just use a tripod and a rotated LCD screen with 5-7x magnification. I wish you a good light and thank you all ... Regards
