Non Scientific Comparison: Olympus 75mm f/1.8 vs Canon Ef 135 f/2L

Canon Ef 135 f/2L

Absolutely non-scientific comparison by Tyson Robichaud between the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 and Canon EF 135 f/2L lenses, the former mounted on an Olympus OM-D E-M5 and Panasonic GX1, the latter on a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Mark I. Different systems, different sensors, different worlds – but if you are interested to learn how these lenses compare then Tyson's review is right for you.

slrgear reviewed a pre-production model of the awesome Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens, the first to give you a constant f/1.8 across the zoom range, and at an affordable price ($799). An “an incredible lens at an amazing price” that’s “shockingly sharp”. I am sure this will be the most interesting lens this year (and easily also next year). Can’t wait to have it. Simply speaking: Sigma made everything right with this lens!
