Another batch of shots with the Minolta MD 28-85mm 1:3.5~4.5, a lens that has been a real surprise. Highly underrated, and largely overshadowed by much more applauded MD 35-70mm, the MD 28-85mm is a well-built 13-elements in 10-groups two-touch zoom construction, with an optical design that includes aspherical and floating elements. On its own, this zoom provides coverage of popular focal length distances. The lens also comes in macro mode.
Though comparatively bulky when adapted to the smallish Pen E-P5, it is still a nice fit, and comfortable to hold. Images on the 2x crop sensor are full-frame equivalents of 56, 70, 100, 140, and 165mm. Holding the camera steady at the long end of the zoom could be quite a situation as you will need very steady hands or have the camera well supported.
