[Leica] IMG: Olympus 50/2.0 Macro as a Walk-Around Lens

[Jim Nichols]

I received a 50/2.0 Macro lens from B&H yesterday, and slipped it on the 
old E-1 this morning to see how it functioned as a daily walk-around 
lens.  I sought a wide variety of subjects to get a feel for its 
focusing and resolution, from treetops and clouds to my utility meter.  
With a breeze blowing, and several small subjects, it took a little 
while to get used to its focusing habits, but, as you will see from the 
utility meter, resolution is very good.

I'm looking forward to the butterflies with this lens.
