I'd agree. The 50/1.2 seems to be better regarded than the 55/1.2. I
found mine over the net for $250, which wasn't too much for me. I know
that right now there is one at http://www.igorcamera.com/Olympus.htm for $270.
It's a nice hunk of glass too! :-))

Susan, Shift the focus of your lust to the 50mm f1.2. The price you
mentioned is way to high for a 55mm f1.2 and I paid less than that for a
50mm f1.2 which is a much better lens going by test reports I have seen
Let me know if you want me to send you the numbers for the two lenses
off-list.
