Hi Denton:
Thanks for posting this! For those who haven't seen it or don't remember it,
I posted what would be a rebuttal, now archived at:

I stand fast to saying the 50mm f/2.0 Macro Zuiko is superior to the
Summicron. I might have a few updates to that analysis, based on locating the
50mm lens test shootout that I previously mentioned as not being able to
locate.
Interesting how the 50mm f/1.8 MC Zuiko redesign is a copy of the Summicron!
Also interesting how Mike Johnson's article doesn't even mention close
focusing capability or floating elements in the Zuiko. Surely that makes for
a more versatile lens.
