I saw the article. (BTW, The Carl Zeiss T* Planar looks like a clear
winner to me. Even over the 4X more expensive Leica Summilux.) BUT I
didn't expect to see the Zuiko 50/1.4 Why? Because it's been
discontinued. PP did a 50/1.8 test a couple years back and included the
Zuiko. As I remember, It was near the top in performance.
