I wanted to like this lens, but it had one major drawback.

I bought this lens after reading many positive reviews about it and seeing the good images it produces. I was looking for a manual lens to photograph the night sky and large landscapes. When I received it I noticed the very nice packaging and it came with a nice lens case. My first shots with him were some close-ups that came out great. Then I snapped a photo from further away and noticed that beyond about 200 feet everything was just plain blurry. I tried it on 3 different Olympus cameras and after 200ft it was blurry. The lens would not focus to infinity at all. It won't work for what I planned it for. It's great for large objects like bugs and wildflowers. I sent it back and got a refund, no problem. I want the lens to work as I really like the size and feel of it. Too bad.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
