I think the problem is wide angle focusing error, many people may have
overlooked it, the DOF at F2 is very small. I found the 35/2 at F2
provide very sharp photos and also for the 50/1.4 wide open (later
version, the 3xx,xxx at close distance-wide open is very poor) but
"sharp" is only limited to the area that are in focus. I found my
photos were much better when I have changed to matte area focusing but
it need some practice to do with wide angle lenses.

Ah! Good point. The truth is probably somewhere in between? Anyway, here are two shots demonstrating what I mean:

One is with the OM4T 40/2. I forgot what shutter speed, but it is low. 1/30-1/60 at best. The other is C3000. I think it's easy to tell which one is which :-) Too bad we didn't notice her hands were in opposite order!
