I have no experience in using Zuikos in other bodies besides OMs. The
original Leica M-lenses has distance couple to the rangefinder of M cameras,
you can get accurate focusing with them. But the Zuiko didn't have such
mechanism. I think I will have problem in using a 35/2 with distance
guessing, unless stop down to at least F5.6, not to mention a 50/1.4!
