I bought a 50mm f/1.4 MC >1,000,000 < 1,100,000, cause I was reading some
messages about its opticall performance here, in this list, as if it was
better than other famous brands (specifically Canon prime 50mm f/1.4), but I
have to agree with you about it: I'm not happy with it too, it is very
clear, has no "beauty", its "flavour" is not as good as other Zuiko lenses I
have (the 85mm f/2 is great in this respect). I'm trying to buying it now,
for get the 50mm f/1.2.
