Good point.  I need to consider another macro test at 1:10, although another
List member has hopes of doing that, including at 1:2

A 1976 issue of Popular Photography has a 50mm lens shootout.  The results
there suggest that Zuiko f/3.5 is marginally better than the Canon f/3.5
S.S.C., with much better flare control in the former.
