Hi Peter:
> To which lenses are you referring here, Gary?
A SC 50mm f/1.8, a SC 100mm f/2.8, a SC 35mm f/2.8, an SC 28mm f/3.5 and a
35-70mm f/4. Images significantly improved when I started using the 50mm
f/3.5 around 1983. But, the 50mm f/1.8 Zuiko SC was significantly better than
the previous: a 50mm f/1.8 Canon Serenar (1953 vintage).

Looks to me like you might just get what you pay for among the Zuikos,
exception being the 50mm f/1.8 MC. Could also be mine have been though a
pseudo Vietnam. I'll have to test minty examples (preferably MC's) to know.
I just need to get my hands on them.
