I'm assuming you mean the serial number is in the 600,000 range. Mine is
more like 300,000, so I guess I out-SC you. :-)
Bear in mind that Gary changed horses somewhat in the middle of his tests
and dropped the OM-1. With your OM-2S you may get stronger performance.
I tend to prefer the 50/1.8 when I want a straight 50, but I think you'll
be more pleased with it than not. I did my ADITL#2 image with the 50/1.4
(for no special reason). I over-compressed the web image, so I can't offer
it as any sort of testimony to the lens however. :(
