<p>Thanks very much for the tip Michael, I have been trying it out and am glad that so far, shooting wide at F1.4 gives me pleasant results. The only problem I had while taking pics of my dog is the shallow depth of field (eyes and nose) and their fast movements.<br>

Hope to post some pics for you to comment and learn along the way.<br>

Been a great forum and learning lots of things along the way!</p>

<p>I wear specs and am using adapter Canon FD 50mm F1.4 SSC on my Oly EP2.<br>

I bought an optical viewfinder that comes with a diopter. I found that it helps me to get sharper shots compared to using the LCD.<br>

When I am taking pictures with the viewfinder, I do not wear my specs. To start off, I attach the stock Olymus lens ahd use the autofocus to focus on a subject. Next I attach the viewfinder and adjust the diopter until I can see the subject clearly throught the viewfinder.<br>

With this calibration, does it mean that when I attach my adapted lens, the calibrated diopter will always help me to achieve good focusing accuracy when doing manual focus via the viewfinder?<br>

Many thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks for all your advice. Actually, I intend to keep my 50mm F1.4 and possibly get either a 55mm F1.2 or 50mm F1.2 . To me, the possibility of using vintage lenses on modern camera bodies brings back many happy memories of the good old days where you actually turn the dial to focus on film cameras!<br>

Thanks for all the clarifications on the types of 55mm F1.2 available. Just curious, for a 50mm F1.2 compared to 55mm F1.2, would the image quality be similar or close? Usually I shoot wide open at max aperture so image quality and sharpness would be a priority. So far I have tried portraits and my puppy (after 2x crop factor on Oly = 100mm), the results have been very good and bokeh is excellent.</p>

<p>Regards,<br>

<p>Dear all,<br>

I am currently owning a Canon 50mm F1.4 SSC lens and I love it.<br>

I am not considering a 55mm F1.2 SSC and non SSC. I was informed that the images taken at most apertures for SSC version is soft. Is this true?<br>

Would I be better off sticking to my existing 50mm?<br>

Thanks in advance!</p>
