I had the 2,8 28mm Zuiko, it was a sharp lens.
I did a lot of pictures with high contrast lighting through the deep
standing sun, no problems with flare and ghosting.

Now, I´m the proud owner of an 2,0 28mm Zuiko, as sharp as the 2,8 28mm
Zuiko.
Recently i took some pictures of an interior scene, with high contrast
lighting through some windows. I had to fight with some ghosting, it
seemed to me that the 2,0 is more vunerable to ghosting then the 2,8
Zuiko. 
Sadly, I could not do a comparison between the two lenses. I did the
comparison with some N**on lenses and they showed the same problem.

For the use with an 50mm lens I would recomend an 28mm lens.
