Hi Rueben:

Besides the 85mm f/2 Zuiko samples I've already tested at:
http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm
here is a brand new sample, not yet posted:

OM-4T with mirror and diaphragm prefire, sample 2 (Zuiko MC)
Vignetting = B+ @ f/2, A- @ f/2.8, A thereafter
Distortion = none
Aperture  Center    Corner
f/2       B+        B-
f/2.8     A         B+
f/4       B+        B+
f/5.6     A-        A-
f/8       B+        B
f/11      B         B
f/16      B         B
Notes: Moderate contrast at f/11-16, moderately high contrast at f/4-8,
high contrast at f/2-2.8. Remarkable performance at f/2.8 in this
sample.

This lens doesn't appear to have multi-coating on all the elements. It
might be an interim version (a "Zuiko MC"), before the "Zuiko" came out
with full multi-coating.  At any rate, it is a winner, esp. at f/2.8
