The Z 85/2 seems to tolerate some extension nicely for macro due to

I believe this is correct, from what I have searched online. Supposedly
the floating element was to improve the lens for closer focus and be better
for portraits.

so the 5 element version, supposedly sharper, could be 115,000 and later.
My recollection from Gary Reese's tests is that the SC version was a little
sharper at f2 and up, the MC version sharper at f16 down. I suspect this
is one of his earlier tests with an OM-1.
Not quite so straight forward.

In his later tests he used a body capable of "timer" MLU.
MLU not the big deal. It's Aperture Pre-fire, In this case OM4T.
Those were the days.
