I was intrigued by this lens because the CV40 is so great,but not going to bother. I need AF for portraits,and thats all I'd have used it for.
I’m in the same boat , I just don’t have a big need for a macro lens so I’m going to pass on it. For portraits it’s a AF lens. But having a small 100mm or so MF lens for my MF kit but not expensive would be nice as my longest there is 75. Wish list item though
Well there is always the Olympus OM 100 f/2, which is one of the Oly OM system's best lens. It controls CA fairly well for an older lens, has lovely bokeh, and a nice short MFD of .7M. It doesn't handle flare all that well but a nice lens and pretty small. Philip Reeve reviewed it for his website if you want a nice detailed characterization of its performance. For me this CV 110 f/2.5 macro looks wonderful, but I will keep the Oly lens for use on my Fuji GFX where it makes a wonderful and small 75 f/1.5 equivalent.
