It was discussed briefly as I remember. Someone asked if it was worth it
when a good Zuiko 85mm f2 could be had for half the price. It would have to
be good. The superwides are spectacular (12 and 15mm) and the CV users seem
to think that the 35/1.7 Ultron and the 50mm Asph. are something special
but not a lot has been said about the 75mm and 90mm so far.
