OLYMPUS MM F/2.0 ED ZOOM LENS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Part of me wants to keep this lens, firstly because they are so rare in SA, and secondly because it is probably one of the best mid range telephoto zoom lenses I have ever used. It will wipe the floor with any Canon or Nikon mm f/2.8 lens. This lens has a maximum f/2.0 aperture throughout the zoom range, which makes it one of the fastest zoom lenses in existence. It is bitingly sharp at the widest aperture and has the most beautiful bokeh of any lens. It focuses perfectly on an Olympus E-M1 with an MMF adapter (not supplied but available from Fotozones). The downside is that it is a very large and heavy piece of glass, but if that doesn’t bother you, then you will own one of the best zooms ever made, bar none. Pics are of the actual lens. It comes with the original nylon case, caps and lens hood. The hood is a bit loose, so I use a piece of tape in the bayonet to keep it on tight. Works fine. Price is negotiable. You will spend more than twice this amount for the new PRO.
