GAS.. GAH!

GAH!

It appears i have came down with a bad case of GAS lately.
I just picked up a 28mm f2 and I have a 55mm f1.2 on order.
Weird, and I swore that all i needed were the 3 lenses I already had.

Were there different versions of either of these lenses?

There was the later 50mm/1.2 but that was a whole different lens.

You probably need one of those too!

Darin,
I don't really know that much about the 28mm f2 Zuiko.

I am especially fond of the standard focal length lenses. I have two of the 55mm f1.2 lenses. One is an early silvernose with serial number 102705 and I also have a later 55mm f1.2 that is all black and has serial number 164593. I have only seen one lens that had a higher serial number in this focal length. I believe that the 50mm f 1.2 was the replacement for these around 1981 or so. Enjoy!

Wll I did a little research and the 28mm f2 seems to be highly regarded.. the 55mm f1.2 not so much.

I'm not sure if I will be keeping either of them, but I will at least give them a test run with some film =]

Looking forward to hearing what you think of these lenses. Just bought a 28 f2, awaiting it. Looking for a 55mm 1.2. I'm trying to collect as many of the Zuiko's as I can (30+ at this time). Have GAS bad.
