Thanks for sharing again Walt. I'd forgotten what a stunning photo that
was. With my reading glasses I can count the grains of pollen.

Subject: [OM] Re: ZD 50mm f/2
I've got both. I think of the 50/2 ZD as the E-1 equivalent of the 90/2 Zuiko
for the OM-4Ti. The 90/2 works quite well on the E-1, and nearly twice the
focal length is nice sometimes, but is often too much of a good thing. I'm not
a tester -- too easily bored for something requiring that much discipline --
but I think the 50/2 ZD is maybe even a better macro lens than the 90/2.
I shot my TOPE 24 with the 90/2 on the E-1.
