Notes: * equivalent to "mirror and diaphragm prefire" procedure, using of self-timer on late model Olympus bodies. Low contrast images at f/1.2; moderately contrast images at f/2; moderately high contrast at f/8 to f/16; very high contrast images at f/4 to f/5.6. This is a rubberized focusing grip model with non-radioactive glass in the lens. Paired comparison with the earlier version (above): differences in SQF grades significant at the 1/3 grade level. Outstanding lack of vignetting (i.e., light falloff) for a super speed lens, likely due to the large front elements (compared to the more petite 50mm f/1.2 and 55mm f/1.2 Zuikos).
