        Thanks for sharing again Walt. I'd forgotten what a stunning photo that 
was. With my reading glasses I can count the grains of pollen.

I've got both. I think of the 50/2 ZD as the E-1 equivalent of the 90/2 Zuiko 
for the OM-4Ti. The 90/2 works quite well on the E-1, and nearly twice the 
focal length is nice sometimes, but is often too much of a good thing. I'm not 
a tester -- too easily bored for something requiring that much discipline -- 
but I think the 50/2 ZD is maybe even a better macro lens than the 90/2.

I shot my TOPE 24 with the 90/2 on the E-1.
