I rarely use OM Zuikos on the 5D (other than with hyperfocal methods for
landscape) because of the difficulty of focusing... even with the
special Ee-s screen for f/2.8 or faster lenses. Maybe a 28/2 reduced to
a 14/1.4 will have enough brightness to facilitate fast and accurate
focusing without resorting to slow, magnified live view methods.
