Review on πŸ“· Olympus 50mm f/1.4 Manual Focus Auto-S Zuiko Lens - Optimized for OM Series Film Cameras by Sick Yeldell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good speed of dispatch, lens misrepresented

I bought this 50mm lens with OM mount f1.4 from 5119 Cameras through Revain. What I really liked: The lens was sent immediately. I received it a few days before the promise from Revane. Very pretty! What I didn't like so much: Although the lens was in very good condition, fungus appeared on the inner lens in 2 places. In addition, the mechanical locking mechanism did not work properly. The shutter blades closed a little slowly and took seconds to open again. Slow closing resulted in overexposure of frames. I opened the lens, cleaned the mechanism and cured the slow open/close. The Revains description for the lenses shows that they are in very good condition, no fungus, the mechanics work perfectly. This lens was misrepresented. Although I am very satisfied with the fast delivery, I would not buy from this seller again.

Pros
  • Fits both Olympus SLRs and Micro 4/3rds
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

This is among the sharpest 50mm lenses I've used, and it has the most accurate color.
