That looks like a seriously sharp bug, Attila!
Hope it doesn't bite Wink

A question out of curiosity: why don't you shoot some normal pictures in your tests also? I often have the impression that I am looking at only macro lenses. Which of course it's not the case of this fine portrait lens.
So why not some normal picture of a tree, or a house?

I can't do with Nikon D50, no infinity. I bought Olympus E-1 to make that kind of pictures what you said. I will do.

In this close-up job the lens did well!

I've heard many good things about it.
