Only three Zuikos have left my possession since the beginning of
time, and a 28/2 was one of them. I'm sure we all realize there
can be bad examples of any lens, and I probably had one. It
looked perfectly fine, but it wasn't even as good as an old
Vivitar 28/2.8 I had left over from my Pentax days. When I got
the 28/2.8 Carl Zeiss Jena, the Zuiko went away.
I say this not to slander all 28/2 Zuikos, and I'm not
particularly recommending the Jena lenses -- if you can find one.
Some of them were made by god-knows-who and were god-awful. I
just got a really good one. And I'm keeping it.
