It's great to see the thread getting some activity, thanks for posting Peire. I like the bench and flower shots.
Here's an image with the 50mm f/3.5 Macro on 6D at f/11 with a LumoPro LP-160 camera top left I believe at 1/64 power. First, the full shot with minor cropping to achieve 8x10 ratio and remove empty space.

Thanks! Oly 50/3.5 macro is a great tiny lens.I use it as a general purpose and for close ups
Fast Zuiko wa lenses excell in indoor shots as seen on your pictures JohnJ.Not so outdoor in bright sunlight.OM 50/1.4 is a very good allrounder though.

It is quite related with the version of the coating on the glass. For instance following was taken with 100/2.8 (which has a more modern coating and which is also a bit underrated imho) under harsh&direct sunlight, still result made me happy.

Sure,but 100/2.8 is a short tele and not fast wa like 24/2 or 35/2 .Slower 24/2.8 and 28/3.5 do better in contrasty lighting.BTW 100/2.8 is a very good lens and I'm satisfied with it's IQ either,but prefer 24/2.8 than 24/2 and 28/3.5 than 28/2 + 28/2.8.35/2 is the only one fast wa IMO better than it's slower counterpart 35/2.8.

There are definitely single and multi-coated versions of the 24/2.8 in particular. The single coated versions will wash out easily.
The slower Oly's seem to be a different animal from the faster ones. Not sure how to describe it, but it seems the slower variants have more micro-contrast, or
It would be interesting to see some side by sides if anyone has multiple variants (i.e. 100/2 vs. 100/2.8) of the same FL.
Heads up for those interested - I just asked Metabones and they indicated that OM mount Speedboosters will be available at the end of this month. Great news! I don't need the extra expense of the aperture controlled EF mount adapter and almost all the lenses in my collection are Zuikos. They didn't specify but I'm assuming both Nex and Fuji mounts. One big question will be if they eliminated some of the compatibility issues due to lens protrusions - especially for wides and macros.
