I'm too lazy to look up the exact details, and have no personal
experience with these lenses, but check dpreview -- I think they
thought the 40/1.7 was far better as a general-purpose lens, and some
(non-micro-)4/3s macro lens (totally pulling this out of my behind,
but is there an Olympus 50/2.0?) with an adapter was an
optically-far-better macro lens.
