I'm very interested in adapting an 85/1.8 for micro four thirds. Just wondering if it loses IQ and I'd have to end up stopping down.

I'm not sure what it's like now, but I'd wager they are at least as good as what I used here.<br /><br />I've since moved on to an A7 (1st model) though I keep a m43 as a backup and for macros. It's nice moving to a completely different camera system and using all the lenses you were already having fun with.Beomagihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469223835355067867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974094041951992980.post-80191505128398382492018-03-28T07:13:43.343-07:002018-03-28T07:13:43.343-07:00Hello your article is very helpful.
