Zuiko 40-150 or adapted Micro nikkor 2.8/105mm?
7 months ago

I am planning to buy an e-pl5, and wondering about short Tele options. From my previous nikon gear, I still hold my venerable (but optically perfect) AF-D micro 2.8/105. The question is, would the old nikkor outresolve the native telezooms e.g. a good copy of 40-150?

My concern is resolution and microcontrast, the only tests of the 105 micro I know were done on a prehistoric 10MP APS-c sensor...

I am less worried about CA, on D200 it was about 0.5pixel, which translates about 3microns or ~1 pixel on the E-PL5 - this is less than most m43 lenses I saw. Besides, vignetting is not existing on m34.

I know its heavy and bulky but I really want to keep this beautiful glass...
