The first time I learned about radiation in lenses I decided I’d steer clear from lenses like that. (Lenses with optics containing Thorium tend to turn yellow with time.) This has led me to passing up a beat up Olympus OM 55 1.2 lens that was as yellow as autumn. You’ll read forums and posts and articles and watch videos with opinions ranging from “If you’re worried send them to me *haha*” to “This thing gives out so much radiation it’s scary!!!”. I wanted to try the Olympus OM 50mm 1.4, but one thing always stopped me – Thoriated glass. I had that itch I felt about twice an year – a good, fast, 50mm. I’ve been seeking a few out, but had little success as they seem rare where I’m at. I’ve recently had a fascination with Olympus OM lenses, mainly because I have an Olympus Pen FТ and an adapter which allows use of such lenses.
