Re: Olympus 4/3 mount 50 f/2 - worth it?

Gorgeous character images from this lens but unless you can get it with a quality adapter for no more than half the price of the 60mm macro then probably no sense in it other than keeping as an alternative for occasionally using to enjoy the rendering or if on a budget to double up as a macro and fast portrait lens all in one.

But at f11 it is noticably better than the 60mm at f11. I do miss that when I need DOF for macro... but 60mm can do focus stacking nicely at f5.6.

Credit to whoever said that first and my wife for saying it to me. Make the best you can of every day!
