Hi Joel:
I just picked up for $55 total, a 50 mm f/1.4 (9+, but with a replacement
filter ring turned ca. 180 degrees from normal) on a black OM-1 (9) w/o shoe.
(Yup, I can stop complaining about the lack of used OLY equipment here).
The 50 mm f/1.4 has always tested out as underperformer versus the major
competitors. If possible, go with a 50 mm f/1.2 as it is a significantly
better performer. The 50 mm f/1.8 remains a cost/performance bargain, though.
For some performance tests, see the OLY FAQ.
