I don't pay much heed to the photodo test results. They are strongly biased
toward Canon.

Subject: [OM] 28mm f2.0 versus 28mm f2.8
The lens tests at
http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm
suggest that the difference between the 28mm f2.0 and 28mm
f2.8 are as follows: the f2.0 is sharper but has noticeable barrel
distortion, while the f2.8 is the opposite (but is much cheaper).
The lens tests at
http://www.photodo.com/prod/lens/35lensesmtf.shtml#Olympus
do not include both lenses, but the grade for the f2.0 is only a
2.6/5.0, only average. Considering that I use my wide angles
mainly to photograph buildings, I think the f2.8 is the better lens
considering the lessened barrel distortion. Any comments?
