Just bouncing this thread with a question.

I'm slightly confused on the variety of uses of a dedicated f2.8 lens. The one in particular that I am looking at is the beaut little Olympus 12-40mm PRO lens (http://slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=1641) for use with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II MICRO 4/3rds camera. I know a the basics of using an SLR, and for years used a Nikon F90X before the world went digital, but I've never used a constant aperture lens before.

I want to use the lens for most situations really, but particularly for landscapes and people shots. I know it is a nice sharp lens and should give decent results with bokeh and low light situations but can these lenses be used when I want a large depth of field too?

Any thoughts?

The lens is a constant F2.8 at the largest aperture, you can simply adjust the aperture down to F8 or 9 for your landscape shots. It is not fixed at F2.8 mate.

Sorry for the late reply to your pm, been busy at work type boring stuff.
