But James, you still haven't said whether you use the lens(es) mainly
for their 50mm ability or for their MACRO capability. If you are
just comparing 5xmm lenses (with or without MACRO capability), you
really have a lot of choices from Olympus, many of them faster than
the 50/3.5. But if you must have MACRO then the choices are limited
to the 50/3.5 and the 50/2.0, both of them are slower than the 50/1.2.
I can understand trading off the 50/3.5 against the 50/2.0; but I
really don't understand why you keep trading off the 50/1.2 against
the 50/2.0 because to me, they do different things.
