Compared: Olympus M. Zuiko 75mm f/1.8 ED vs Olympus SHG 35-100mm f/2 ED
The Olympus SHG (Super High Grade) lenses offer reference-grade performance for Micro Four Thirds and Four Thirds cameras, like the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
Now that I have the huge Olympus 35-100mm f/2 ED on hand for testing, I pitted it against the svelte Olympus 75mm f/1.8 ED (equivalent to a 150mm lens in terms of a full-frame 35mm DSLR).
Compared: Olympus SHG 35-100mm f/2 ED versus Olympus 75/1.8 ED
At about $899, the Olympus 75/1.8 is slightly more than 1/3 the price of the huge Olympus 35-100mm f/2 ED. And the 75/1.8 is far smaller and lighter.
Naturally a comparison with the new Olympus 60mm f/2.8 macro is coming soon also.
