Hello fellow M4/3 users of /p/,
Which one should I get for my E-M5? Both are used.
The Olympus 17mm goes for about USD 140, while the Sigma 19mm is USD 128. USD is not my currency by the way but they sound reasonable as well in my currency.
What do I usually take photos of? I don't know, anything I guess. I'm an absolute beginner and I have the kit lens 12-50MM but I think it's pretty difficult to use.
I also heard that prime lens is usually sharper. I also am trying to achieve some nice DoF effect and honestly I think M4/3 gives that nice, subtle DoF effect. However, it is pretty hard to get it with the kit lens.
Maybe I'm just bad but I've only been able to take 1 or 2 photos with acceptable bokeh with the kit lens.
The website of pic related also shows that the Sigma have more blade than the Olympus. So perhaps I should just get the Sigma?
