let me put it this way, the Zuiko Digital 50mm prime lens is probably the sharpest digital lens in the market, irregardless of brand. and it gives one of the best color rendition too. simply amazing considering the price.

Sorry, is this the ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 3? And how much is that when you say cheap? I am thinking of getting some brighter lenses...

Maybe I will get it too.. Anyway, can anyone advise if this is suitable for any other types of shots other than macro? How about potrait?

Thanks for your help in answering my questions. Looks like this is the additional lense that I will like get.

I need to learn my 14-45 first. But the 3.5-5.6 is irking me currently.

dun let the 'slowness' of this lens fool you...
photozone did a review of it here...
http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/len...3556/index.htm
and it does surprisingly well... especially when compared to other kit lenses like
the canon 18-55 they also reviewed here...

btw dun compare the two mtf directly.... thier on diff scales depending on camera...
