Đánh giá lens zuiko 50 1.4 năm 2024

Many lens modifications were released, I got Zuiko 1.4 / 50 with serial number 842794, which has a pronounced lilac enlightenment of the front lens. Lens despite its huge aperture, turned out to be very small and uses filters with a diameter of just 49 mm... Made in Japan, and I have no complaints about the assembly. Externally, Zuiko 1.4 / 50 is very similar to its younger brother - Olympus OM-System Zuiko MC Auto-S 1: 1,8 f = 50mm.

Lens bokeh at full aperture

Focus ring rubberized, rotates on 180 degrees. The minimum focusing distance is 45sm. The lens has a focus distance scale and a depth of field scale. Focusing is nice and easy. When focusing, the front lens does not rotate. The iris control ring is located in front of the lens. Number of petals aperture — 8 pieces... At aperture of F / 2.0 and up to F / 4.0 in the out-of-focus area, “circular saws"

The aperture closes to F / 16; there is a mark on the DOF scale for shooting in the infrared spectrum. Zuiko 1.4 / 50, like many similar Olympus lenses, also has an aperture repeater. The depth of field scale is located on a chrome ring, which adds some charm to the entire line of lenses :)

The Zuiko 1.4 / 50 at F / 1.4 is soft, and getting into sharpness is not very easy, although shooting at F / 1.4 with manual focus is always difficult. If you close the diaphragm, the sharpness returns to normal. Now such lenses are more interesting not for their sharpness, but aperture and pattern.

Drawing. Close focusing distance

The drawing of the Zuiko 1.4 / 50 is pretty pretty, although not everyone likes the bokeh. The lens tolerates back and side light well, but sometimes you can catch a “rainbow” across the entire image field (an example of a photo is in the archive with the originals - a photo with a dog).

Now, in our digital time, a fast manual fix is usually used as a budget portrait lens on cropped cameras. EGF Zuiko 1.4/50 on Canon APS-C cameras will be 80mm.

This lens can be easily installed on any modern digital mirrorless camera. For installation, you should use the appropriate adapter/adapter, which allows you to use lenses with an Olympus OM mount on the desired mirrorless system without any problems or restrictions. Below is a list of systems/mounts with links to the necessary adapters/adapters: Sony E/FE/NEX, Canon RF/RF-S, Canon EF-M, Nikon Z, Nikon 1, Leica l, FujiFilm GFX, fujifilm x, Samsung NX, Micro 4 / 3.

A high-aperture prime can always be used in a variety of artistic designs; many amateur photographers stop at 50 / 1,8 or 50 / 1,4 class lenses as the first “creative” lens. I think with this Zuiko 1.4 / 50 you won't be bored in the open air :)

OM 50mm f1.4. A beautifully made lens with a fine precision movement feel to the focusing ring that has just enough resistance that makes it a joy to focus. None of your Russian tank grease here, these Olympus lenses have a lovely white, low viscosity grease on the helix. On the Olympus lens I opened it was as fresh as the day it left the factory, usually you can expect to be scraping crud out of the threads on most lenses. The F stop ring is at the front which takes some getting used to, on a lens this small usually it is a rear aperture ring.

Wide open centre performance is above average, of the 5 50mm 1.4 lenses I have I would rate this as 3rd best after the Zeiss Planar and the Yashica ML for sharpness, but slightly better than the Super Takumar (non smc). Stopped down this has good sharpness but not outstanding like the zeiss. A nice lens for general use especially if you are expecting to have some evening shots without a tripod, you may just sneak some shots on a high ISO. I have also used this for shooting bands playing in a club with minimal lighting. It is a good solid general purpose lens.
