If you absolutely *must* have the "latest and greatest" in optics, then I
suppose 20 year old Zuiko glass ain't gonna cut it. Personally, I tend to
look at it the same way I look at my computer equipment... no, it ain't
the newest and fanciest, but it sure does work good and it meets my
needs just fine and dandy.
My bet (and I'm sure a dozen folks here will prove me wrong), is that
you can't tell the difference between a 20 year old Zuiko (in good shape,
of course) and a brand spaking new whatever unless you're enlarging
your images to poster-size.
Just my humble opinion, of course. YMMV.

Chris
