Based on my retest of the 90mm f/2 Macro with a OM-2000, I'm about to retest 
the 50mm f/2 with the same camera.  Given that the 50mm f/2 is a heavy lens, 
it's performance may improve at f/2 and f/2.8, just like the 90mm f/2 did 
using mirror and aperture prefire and a vertical shutter.

Also in line for a test is a 28-85mm f/2.8 Vivitar Series 1 (Varifocal) I 
just picked up.

I suspect we will have some results from a 50mm f/1.2 Zuiko in the 
foreseeable future.
