To be short:
wide open on E-system, the D-Zuiko wins. From f4 on I rather like my OM.
OM is heavier but more compact.
On an OM body or 5D, the OM wins :).
For macro the D.Zuiko is a fantastic lens on the E-system, The "extra"
DOF is very welcome.
For portraits it is very good as well, and it combines nicely with the 1.4 TC.
I know the 50f2 OM felt neglected once I had the D.Zuiko. Now it is
the other way round :)
