I already own 24mmMC, 35mm Shift, and 28mm/3.5 Olympus and just got this one and it is a winner. Highly recommended. It is slightly costlier than other olympus lenses but very bright and nice lens.

You will really like the 28mm f2.0.... if anything, it's gotta be as good or better than the 28mm f2.8.
I have a MC version of the 28mm f2.8 and am very impressed by how good this little lens is. I understand the f2.0 version is slightly bigger.

Slightly bigger, but considerably denser, and still a 49mm filter thread. It was relatively expensive new, and reputedly very sharp. Mine does not deliver particularly high contrast wide open, though from f/2.8 on it performs consistently on 4/3", with lateral CA a noticeable (and easily software correctable) issue.

The lateral CA is what I remember when I had a Oly 28/2.0. Although, I didn't compare them directly, the Minolta 28/2.0 was everything the Oly was without the lateral CA. 49mm filter thread, about 230g. weight, good close performance with the floating element design.
