I don't have a quantitative evaluation, but the Zuiko 50/2 was
tested by one of the big US magazines a few years back and the
comments were something to the effect that it was the sharpest 50mm
lens they had ever tested, besting even the vaunted Leica 50/2
Dual-Range Summicron.
I've never seen any structured comparisons between the 50/2 and the
50/3.5, but the old 3.5 seems to get a lot of accolades.
Personnaly, I really like my 50/2, and I use it as my normal lens
most of the time. It's actually my most recent bought-it-new lens;
acquired in 1986 at Wolf Camera in Atlanta. (that shows how long
it's been since I bought anything except used Zuikos!)
