I seem to recall a few posts about subtle differences among several of
the Chinese/Hong Kong adapters -- not so much build quality but
possibly actual differences in thickness of the adapter. In other
words, not an entirely trivial thing.
The 90/2 is my most used Zuiko via adapter. I really should use the
50/3.5 more, since when I was testing it was about the best Zuiko I
could find on the E-1. The bokeh characteristics carry over with the
90/2 however.
