  • Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro M.Zuiko Digital ED

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharp, fast, close focussing, retractable lens hood
    None

    Brilliant lens in all aspects. Two outstanding things you won't find in many or maybe even any other lenses are the ability to shoot as close and the unique lens hood that saves time every time you use the lens. Both features help make this a very useable and enjoyable lens to work with. Olympus PRO lenses have the push/pull AF/MF switching that I find particularly useful.

  • Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Sharpness, build quality, feel
    None

    Great lens, very sharp wide open, nice build quality, feels like a quality lens. AF seems good, but haven't used it for fast action. Bokeh is very nice. Good lens cap and lens hood, better than Canon. Hood included in price. Not weather sealed is about the only negative aside from the fact this is a fairly heavy lens. Not a negative but something to be aware of. Highly recommended.
