I have seen reports that the Z. 40 f2 is a nice performer/size on MFT.
AG reports the Z. 200/4 performs well on FT with images to illustrate
the point.
It is difficult to be sure, but it seems veiling flare is generally
more of an issue with MFT. This was recognized in lenses
designed for film but appears to more of an issue with reflective
sensors. Perhaps the short registration distance of MFT
exacerbates the issue. This was posted before, but may be hard to
find:

Not perfect for what you want , but at least MFT.
You are welcome to try my Z. 50 f2 or any other Zuiko I have when you
are in Boston. I think it is a very cool lens. Perhaps it is a
stellar performer on MFT. I know CH likes the Z. 50/3.5 and I have 2
copies of that. Alas, I do not have an adapter. I suspect it is
only a matter of time before I am smitten by MFT. It is getting very
close.
I suspect that if one has some nice Zuikos, it is easy to justify the
adapters. There may be less complelling case given the
modest fussiness with stop down metering etc if one must purchase the
lenses too---unless one is an "alt lenser" by nature.
A Generally don't Mind Fussing, Mike
Nathan,
My vote would be the OM 50mm F2.0 Macro lens. If you want something
smaller, lighter and less expensive, try the OM 50mm F 1.8. Neither of
these will overwhelm your GF-1...and you already know where to get the
adapter.

on the GF-1 with the adapter I already have.

compelling enough for someone like me to buy an adapter and try them
out?
The M lenses I already own include a 3.8/24mm, several flavours of the
35mm
(including a Summicron ASPH), 1.4/50mm, 2.5/75mm and 2.8/90mm.
