Hi Richard,
I have own the 50/3.5 for many years, a few months ago, I also bought a
50/2 because this is only the third time I saw this lens in second-hand
stores and at that time the price is the lowest. After bargain, I got it
at around USD350, in excellent condition with perfect glasses and only
the black paint look not very shinny. If the price after bargain is
around USD400, I think it is reasonable.
At the same aperture the performance of both lenses come very close.
With a new purchased 55->49 adapter ring and a normal old 49mm UV
filter, I connected the 50/2 to the slide copier without any problem.
I like collecting nice Zuikos (for medium priced only, I cannot afford
the 250/2 or 350/2.8), the Zuiko 50/2 Macro is probably the world's
largest aperture 50mm macro? How can I resist it!
