My sense is that the Zuiko prime lens are very very good, and being prime
lens, they probably won't get much better, if at all. The zooms, though,
while the Zuikos have advantages such as light weight, by and large, they
won't be as good (except for fabled 35-80, if it is a 28-80 or 24-80, I'd
buy one..)

I got a roll back, and I compared the shots. I have a Tokina 90mm/2.5 and I
compare the graininess to my Zuiko 50/1.8, and it's not comparable. The
Zuiko is about twice as sharp. Hmm.. I really love my OM-1n, but I see
that it's the lenses that really count when it's all said and done. That
worries me since the OM line is all but dead.. There is no new improvements
on the Zuiko lenses, and so I'm scared that the quality of the new lenses
from the likes of Nikon etc.. will all but force me to move there... Yuck,
I hate Nikon... But the lenses are sharp.
Anybody else feel the same way? As much as I love my Zuiko's, I have to
think that 20 years of lens technology is going to beat out the Zuiko's I
have..
