Mind you tell me what focusing aid you use for the 50mm and 90mm lens? Most
people use spit image for shorter lens this may cause focusing error, for
long lens if you witch to matte area focusing (since the matte area is
easier to use for long lenses) the accurate may be higher.

This one I won't argue with you, as many may remember, I never happy with
the Zuiko 28/2.8. Basically, I don't think any Zuiko 28 is outstanding.
