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

[Dennis Kushner]

I have used the AF 50/2 macro on my E 330 when it was first released.
With the 2X crop factor it makes an excellent portrait lens where I use it
mostly.
Originally was influenced by B.D. Cohen who did testing of it for Olympus.
Lens matches well with the CCD chip of the E 330.
