Okay guys, I know this thread is for the 75mm f/1.8 but here's why I'm posting these pics... I am having trouble finding good comparisons between the said lens and the 35-100mm f/2.8.
Now, I've just traded in my 12-35mm f/2.8 because I realized I needed a longer focal length. I wanted the 75mm but Samy's only had the 35-100 in stock. So I went for it. I have read from everyone who's touched the 75mm that it might be the best lens ever made. Anyways, I need to know if it can really visibly walk-all-over the 35-100 optically. If so, I need to take this 35-100 back and go finally get that 75mm. The benefits I have with the zoom are OIS, weather sealing, and different focal lengths.
I know primes are supposedly better optically than zooms but I wanted to post this pic and ask the question, how much better than this can the 75mm do? I'm not trying to start anything here, I just seriously want to know. Maybe if anyone has these "bird of paradise" plants around, you can try to snap the same pic with the same framing etc... and compare. One thing I'm really worried about is the lack of OIS I'd have if I went for the 75 thus giving me blurry images while handheld. But then again, I'm very new to all this and most likely don't really know what I'm talking about... :loco:
So, this pic is (GH3 & 35-100mm f/2.8) handheld with the OIS on and untouched. Just taken RAW and comverted with SILKYPIX to jpeg (444). It's at f/2.8, ISO200, 1/60, 100mm. I know, I should have done it at 75mm... Oh well. I know the OMD has OIS internally but maybe you could try to snap some pics without it at about the same 1/60 and f/2.8 as well as f/1.8... anyways, you get my drift.
