Funny you should say that. My *other* professional tool is a Rollei TLR,
the 2.8E (with an 80mm Xenotar), which I also use for portraiture. With
a Rolleinar closeup lens, I get similar results to the Zuiko 50/3.5.
(By the way, when I spoke of the 50/2 outperforming the Summicron, I was
referring to Michael Johnstone's comments in Photo Techniques, formerly
Darkroom Techniques. This has been documented elsewhere, I believe. And
the Summicron is the M.)
