Hello
I've been trying to solve this one for quite some time on my own. However, I need an advise. Right now I have an OM body, a 50 mm f/1.8 lens and a 100 mm f/2.8 lens. Both lenses are stellar to me, contrasty, sharp and have a colour rendition, which, in the absence of better term, can be classified as "nice and warm". I also owned 28 mm f/3.5 and 135 mm f/2.8 in the past and those two were equally good as well.
Right now I'm in the need of a wider lens. If I get 28 mm f/3.5, I'll have to juggle between three lenses and from what I remember, it's not that quick and not that much fun. So I've been thinking to get a 35 mm f/2.8 lens, which is compact and would cover something in between 28 and 50 mm, so I'd try to get by with 35 mm and 100 mm lenses. But some people say it's "not sharp enough", others say it has "colod colours". And then there are some who say that f/2.8 is too slow, but this point is negligible. I simply can't find a side-by-side comparison of pictures, to come to conclusion by myself.
What I want to ask is: can anyone share their first-hand experience about Zuiko 35 mm f/2.8? Is it good, or should I get back to juggling three lenses again?
I'm thankful for any input!
P.S. The use of 35 mm as main focal length won't be difficult for me, since I have some experience with that length and we get along well, so we can rule out the factor of "what if 35 mm is not wide enough / standard enough".
