>>>Another advantage of the 50 f3.5 macro is it has an f22 minimum stop vs
the f16 on the other 50mm lenses. This can be ahndy for getting a little
more depth of field in both macro and regular photography.<<<

the only advantage of that final fstop that i can see is that it'd allow
you to take daylight nonmacro type shots even with higher speed films
without overexposing too much since the Olys go to 1/1k or 1/2k only.

i'd think that loss from diffraction would be more of an issue than the
potential gains from one more stop. i could be way off; anyone please
correct me if so.
