I seem to sour on all lenses eventually, but I cant see doing that with my very favorite lens (and by extension, zuiko), the slower sister of the above: the 50/3.5 auto-macro
I think it's a fine lens. From an old 50/1.4, I'd rather have a lower global contrast lens that keeps contrast at higher resolutions than the other way around. Maybe in the past when you were limited to shooting slides you wouldnt think it was as good, but Ive always been happy with it, but Ive always had a hybrid work flow.
