Olympus - 3 new lenses
#17
I'm not going to get into the debate but the 50/1.8 STM is a simple old construction (albeit with a dash of modern spice on top); most of the new 50s (or equivalents) have unorthodox element layout; say, the Zeiss 55/1.8 is only a 7 / 5 construction but it is not at all reminiscent of the "classic" Double Gauss... (hence the much better results at wider apertures). Ditto the Panasonic/Leica 25/1.4 (which is a pretty old lens by now).

 

P. S. I know a pro who was (until last month) a long time staff photog for the TASS agency - one of the two main newswires of the country - shooting mostly with an Olympus body (not sure which as I'm not at all versed in the Âµ4/3 camera fare, but has to be a E-M1) and three lenses: 9-18, 12-40 and 40-150. Only for the most demanding assignments like sports shooting he was whipping out the (agency-owned) Canon 1D X, with the lens set to match. His agency-credited works can be seen here: http://tassphoto.com/en/asset/fullTextSe...%B2/page/1 But I was just sayin'. Smile

 

There might be more like him but I'm not really into nagging people about their gear. I know my fellow shooter at the company uses a Fuji X-E1 with the 27mm pancake a lot of time (but mostly it's Canon 5D Mark II with cheaper L lenses for him).
