I bought an extra 50/1.8 so that I'd have at least one per body.
(and because there's fungus in my original).
They make a darn good slide loupe.
They are useful (when reversed) as macro lenses at the end of
extension tubes on any kind of mount you like. I have a set of M-42
tubes, and an M-42 to 49mm reversing ring. Some brief fiddling with a
rubber band around the DOF button causes the zuiko to be permanently
stopped down.
