You see me pretty satisfied with this lens. The Olympus 75/1.8 clearly restores my ability to produce shallow depth of field. It’s different, I still have to get closer than I had to with, say, a Nikon 85/1.4, the working distance is longer than with most fast lenses that I had for the Nikon system, but I suppose you agree, the result is not worse at all.
The Song of the Day is “The Shield” from the 1968 Deep Purple album “The Book of Taliesyn”. Hear it on YouTube.
