Olympus OM Zuiko 100mm F2 on Samsung NX
2

Hello,

I was wondering if someone had already tried the Olympus OM Zuiko 100mm F2 on an NX1 or NX500 camera?

Which adapter is best for the OM mount? I have a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 that works great but i kinda dislike the way aperture is used with no way to know which exact f-number i'm currently on.

Thanks.

Samsung NX1 Samsung NX5 Samsung NX500

Hello,

Thanks a lot Jachnik for the headsup. Really appreciated. I actually already have an 85mm f1.4 Samsung. I really hesitate to get the OM 100mm F2 because the Samsung 85mm already really satisfaire me. That might just be GAS... 😁 but I read everywhere that's one of the best portrait Lens with excellent bokeh. Moreover, this OM Lens is really expensive due to being hard to find good condition copies..

Really, OM Zuiko are great, very easy everyone can get crazy about them   - especially about "the F2.o Family" - but Samyang 85mm f.1.4 - is oft seen as "Zeiss-Killer" - already at f1.4.

Indeed, that's what I was told. I also heard samyang/Rokinon are really good as well. OM Zuiko f2.0 are beasts, but is there such big difference between a Samsung 85mm F1.4 and the Zuiko 100mm f2.0 when it comes to mainly portraitures? Just wondering if someone already had a chance to compare both side by side.

Regards

Both are great and sharp  - but OM100 means as "Kultobjektiv"  -  , Samyang a slighly sharper I think, here 85mm at f4.0 (?) 1/800
