There was a discussion on the OM Zuiko 35mm few weeks ago, I don't think
OM35/2 has too bad edge performance on FF. Considering the price, it is
acceptable, when stopped down it is very good:
============================
I'm not a fan of 35mm especially the Zuiko 35/2.8, I have focus problem with
both 35/2 and 2.8 while the 40/2 and 24/2 seem much better, don't know why.
Anyway, here are some Zuiko test shots made today:
