Hmmm...now I feel almost guilty about the 50/3.5 macro I got as a body cap
on a $50 OM-1. It sees almost exclusive use as "product photography"
lens (example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pooroldpunch/5267935096/). It
is an incredibly sharp lens that gives a perfectly flat field. In its
previous life, it was used on said OM-1 on a copy stand (I think for making
copies of documents). Maybe it deserves to get out once in a while--it
probably also deserves to have its rubber focusing ring replaced!

My take is the 50/3.5 is a serious bargain.
That understates the situation. The 50mm f3.5 was the first lens I bought
when I started building a system. It was purchased before I got the body.
