hi all, yes u read it right. i m writing to tell u all my brief encounter with this OM 90mm macro F2.0 lens which i borrowed for a few days.
i consider this baby the last of the OM family in the late 80s. it was very expensive then, & it is still very expensive now. :what: the build quality is indisputeable the best. kind of heavy too compared to its OM 50mm brothers. Quality aside, this lens is also very very rare & very very hard to find.
so how's the image quality? well, i can't help it but compare it with my Nikkor 55mm AIS micro lens. i was surprised to note that the OM 90mm is better than the 55mm Nikkor. dun just take my word for it, have a look at it for yourself.
the first pic was from Nikkor 55mm:
here's one from the OM 90mm:
although they r different pics, but u can clearly see more details from the OM 90mm lens. if u r not convinced, here's another closer look:
Nikkor
OM 90mm
again, although they r different pics, it clearly shows how much more detail can be resolved on the OM 90mm. hope the fly didn't eek u out.
