It looks good to me! This is an under-rated lens. The design is interesting- 7 elements in 4 groups, same 1-3-2-1 Double Gauss as the Simlar 5cm F1.5. As far as I know- this is a unique Japanese design.

I really enjoy using this lens as I like how images can come out. It is difficult to focus in dim light with the M9/M8, but if I used the E-PL1 or E-P2 with its 10X focus assist, it is very easy to get very sharp images with this lens in dim light.

I love the shot of Lina all covered up- the colors are very subtle, like original Kodachrome (ASA 10).

I need to play with this lens when we visit. You'll be playing with the J-3+....

Such a temporary exchange/loan sounds good to me.

I took some additional photos today with this lens. It is very difficult to get the eyes in focus at 1,5.

Looks like you got at least 3 out of 5...

I am trying to improve my odds!
