Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko ED Digital SLR Lens Review
September 15th, 2009
Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko ED Digital SLR Lens Review from Danijel Turina. Best standard zoom around, I’ve been using it on my E1 for a while, and it proved to be an excellent lens. Sure, my Minolta MD 35-70mm f/3.5 (Leica Vario-Elmar) beats it in bokeh and image beauty, and any 50m Planar will beat it in absolute sharpness, but this one has almost the bokeh of a Minolta, and almost the sharpness of a prime; it’s reasonably fast for a zoom and has the best range of focal lengths one can reasonably hope for (28-108mm equivalent). It’s good for everything, although not absolutely perfect for any particular thing. That makes it the standard zoom of choice.
Flaws: cyan fringing (chromatic aberations) on the wide end, particularly on the edges and wide open. Vignetting on the long end. Target-shaped bokeh, especially visible when shooting macro. That’s about it. Oh yes, very resistent to flare, the coating is excellent.
