You jest, surely?
I doubt any examples of the 250mm f2 had 'ordinary' performance.
I recall someone once said that the 180mm f2, 250m f2, 350mm f2.8 and
the 24mm shift lenses were all assembled by hand by one skilled
craftsman at Olympus.
I am not able to vouch for this story personaly but it is a nice
story anyway.
With these particular lenses I doubt the variance between samples
when shipped would be very much at all.

been intended, in which case forgive me for not registering it as my
humour detector is off-line for repairs at the moment.
