OM 35/2 is a very fine lens, here is an example I posted last year, 5D II,
sharpness=1, F5.6:

OM 55/1.2 is a very sharp lens, I like it more than the 50/1.2 I had,
unfortunately my 55/1.2 created warm tone images due to yellowish elements.
I sold it at the film age as color correction was no fun, if I have keep it
until now I will not sell it as color correction is much easier with
digital.
