I believe you're referring to Michael Johnston; he's currently the resident
guru at the Pentax list and had recently mentioned the 50/2.0 Zuiko as an
exceptional (unsung was the word used IIRC) lens.
Considering the man must have seen and reviewed a lot of lenses, for him to
single out this lens must mean it really impressed him- consider also, that
Pentax users (and he's one of them) rarely find anything good in a lens that
doesn't start with a P- sounds familiar? :-))
