I recently got my hands on a used Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 lens to be used on my Olympus DSLR E-1. This lens was also the first ever Four Thirds DSLR lens, and is about 20 years old now. The lens adopts telecentric optical design, which was then reused by Canon and Nikon much later when they launched their mirrorless full frame system. I thought it would be fun to test the Zuiko Digital 14-54mm on my OM System OM-1, as I was curious about the AF performance on newer Micro Four Thirds bodies, and the capabilities of the lens to handle newer, higher resolution image sensors. I shared my thoughts in my latest video here (click). Here in this entry, I post fresh photos, all taken with the Zuiko Digital 14-54mm lens on my OM-1 camera.

Fantastic photos! And wow that lens is sharp. I could even see that the wrapper on your sandwich had English words inside it, which made me wonder how prevalent English is in Malaysia. Thanks for these image samples of a great lens.
ReplyDeleteHi Robin!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year. Thanks for all your quality M43 content through the years.
I almost got the 14-54mm some months ago but couldn't find a MMF-x adapter and ended up with the OK-ish 12-50mm m.zuiko instead. Your shots look incredible here, I'll keep it (and the 12-60mm) in mind. Also tempted to find one of the older FT bodies, just because, you know :)
Best regards from a long term reader and viewer somewhere in EU.
I've just bought this lens for use with my E-520 but I did try it on my E-M1 mk2 and I was really surprised at just how quick and snappy the focus was even via an adapter.
