  • fehafeha
    I'm about to buy this lens, however i see two different types of same lens, one with 62mm thread and one with 46mm,
    is there any difference or I'm wrong ?
    Have anyone experience with this lens ?

    There's one that's on the old 4/3 mount and a new one on the micro 4/3 mount. Both great optically but old Leica will need additional adapter to use on micro 4/3 cameras.

    the older one is bigger, more expensive, and the AF is slower, in addition to needing the adapter as already stated, but it does have a manual aperture ring which the new micro four thirds version lacks

    43 version is a macro lens at 1:2. Sharp at 1.4. Slow AF.

    m43 is not a macro. Not corner sharpness at 1.4. Fast AF.

    Thank you very much,
    now i understand the difference ...
    So i need to go for 46mm filter thread and faster AF, as the other one would require adapter and is slow AF ... or ?
    How much is AF slow compared to new one m43 ?
    As i see some on ebay but was confused with images , 43 and m43 is different , was confused as i forgot "micro" ...
