Not me. I'm interested in any lens that gives me excellent results, regardless
of the price (though I have both El Cheapos and Stratospheric Price Rangers in
my kit...) And yes, the Zuiko MC 50mm F/1.8 is a kick-ass lens. Period.
Shame it isn't my favourite focal length (28mm is rapidly gaining that
distinction, along with either 90 or 100mm...).
