Olympus OM 55mm 1.2

After being introduced to the Olympus E-P2 pairing with legend lenses, it caught my attention of how light and versatile the combo can be. 2 weeks after finding a used E-P2, I came across a lot of OM series lens. Among them, is the Olympus OM 55mm 1.2 to add to my tool box.

Impressed with the performance of the lens on both cameras, as well as the E-P2 with the versatility and slim weight and size compared to my bulky DSLR.
