I too have a 35 F2, if I were to pare down my OM kit to the bone, this would
never go away. It would be a companion to the OM 1n I have also with a 50 mm
1.4 ( > 1M serial no.), also an 85 F2, oh of course the nice 21 F3.5....now
my 28 F2.8 I trying hard not to get rid of it.

I can`t disagree more. Although my trusty 35/2 now has strong compettition
im my kit it is a never to sale lens, because of it`s performance.
To jude the performance of a wideangel-lens by comapiring the
vingetting with a tele in not fair.
The natural (=mostly unavoidable) vingetting of a 35mm lens is
0.9 f-stop (cos^4-rule). While a 85 mm lens has only 0.2 F-stop
natural vingetting (=none).
CoFo meassured the vingetting of the 35mm Zuiko, and it matches
the natural vingetting at F5.6.
see:

I´ve seen no 35-mm lens with noticeably less vingetting stopped
down. The curved front element is pretty positive in respect to vingetting.
Don`t be so hard with a wide angel lens, and enjoy it`s other
advantages.
