Send me the 85/2, Joel, and it will be my pleasure! That is the one Zuiko I
never got to have, and I sold my 100/2.8 last year (as well as the 180/2.8
and 300/4.5, all to the same buyer!)
I took a look at the specifications, and reckon that a 50/1.4 is a
reasonable stand in, especially if set to minimum focus. So here they be:

You will notice that I did not invest in the real thing, a Metabones
adapter for the simple reason that they were not available for EOS to FX,
and I specifically wanted to go that route to maximise the options
available to me (not that I have ever had a single C@non lens). So the
Zhongyi it had to be, despite it being very nearly half the price of the
Metabones EOS to OM.

PS I have already taken a guess at the follow up question, and refer you to
my " anthropogenesis" response to Chuck the other day.
