The sad thing is, I think I have read that the 21/2 really doesn't 
perform well on the E-1.  I'm not sure why (maybe way too much of a 
retrofocus design?), but that it's disappointing.  Not only do I own one 
and like how it performs on film, but I would prefer primes on an 
E-thingy, of which there is only one ZD prime right now.
