A very nice read on http://theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com/ regarding
the Olympus Zuiko 21/3.5 used on the Canon 5D.

"The image above is 11 minutes, ?/16, ISO 50 with in-camera noise
reduction, using an Olympus Zuiko 21mm ?/3.5 lens on the 5D with a
Cameraquest adapter. The center sharpness of this tiny prime lens is on par
with Canon?s wide angle zooms, but the Zuiko walks all over the Canon
17-40mm ?/4L and 16-35mm ?/2.8L in the corners of the frame. The only
significantly sharper lens at this focal length is the fabled Contax Zeiss
21mm Distagon...."

I makes me a little sad that I sold mine, but....then again, I don't have a
5D or any plans to go there.  The review still makes me a little proud of
the aging OM system.
