I would be interested to know if there are any subjective compasirons between
the ( Zuiko 50/2 or 50/3.5) and the
(Micro Nikkor 55/3.5 AIS(~1969) or Micro Nikkor 55/2.8 AIS). According to many
Nikon enthusiasts these two 55mm
Micro Nikkors are the sharpest Nikkors ever. I would love to watch the above
Zuikos and Nikkors cross swords !
