No USA-based photo magazine has discussed the 50mm f/2 Macro Zuiko for a
long time, with the exception of Michael Johnson in Photo Techniques,
about 1 1/2 years back. I did the quantitative comparison for him and
it was between my 50mm f/2 and a borrowed Leitz 50mm f/2 Summicron-M,
Mandler design. I presume that in writing the article, Michael combined
his subjective opinion in using both, along with my data, which he cited
in that article.
