Not that I want to knock Jordan\'s enthusiasm, and his pics are indeed impressive, but does it make sense to go to such lengths to get an ultra-thin-DOF-lens, and then stick it on a smaller-sensor camera, which has more DOF than its larger-sensor brethren?
Not at all, in theory. A 35/2 for full frame would perform better, be significantly smaller and lighter and cost about a fifth of this lens.
The only problem is that there is no small full frame body you could attach such a lens on. The closest is a M9, but it\'s expensive ... A D700/5D/A850 + 35/2 might be close in weight, but I\'d guess still feel more clumpsy. And not everyone wants a SLR.
That\'s why I don\'t want to be a m4/3 owner with expensive system specific glass when someone releases a small FF body. Good buy resale value!
