Hi Skip and fellow Zuiks,
I've never owned this lens although I recently had the chance to get a mint
one for $400NZ ($US166). But I often think about it and one comment that
sticks in my mind that one or two listees repeat is that Pop Photography
apparently said it was perhaps the least flare-prone lens they had ever tested.
So who's telling the truth here?

> As for the Zuiko, here's a summary:
>
> - - Flare-prone, the hood doesn't help much
> - - Problems at small apertures
> - - Sharp at most apertures
> - - Nice tonal reproduction and contrast
> - - Overall, better at middle apertures
