I've got the 38/2.8, but it doesn't get much use and sits in the dark most of 
the time with such other shelf queens as the 35/2.8 shift, 50/3.5, the 
foggy-bottom 65-200/4, and a trio of 50/1.8's.  The 80/4 goes as close as I 
normally ever want to go, and it is also THE lens to use for slide copying, 
should the need arise.  The few times I have used the 38/2.8, I have been 
impressed with its performance, particularly with the macro flashes and a 
mid-range aperture.  Maybe I need to start thinking smaller.  Wonder how it'll 
work on the E-thing.  :-)
