History.
It was in 1936 that the Takachiho Corporation introduced its first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. The camera's lens was given the name Zuiko, a Japanese word that means 'light of the gods'. It was an auspicious name, chosen partially because the lens had been developed at the Mizuho Optical Research Laboratory, and partially because the corporate name, “Takachiho”, is a Japanese word that means "mountain of the gods." But more than the name, it was the quality of the Olympus Zuiko lens that sparked conversation at the time. Ever since, Olympus Zuiko lenses have been featured on succeeding generations of Olympus cameras. The Olympus Zuiko lenses are widely acclaimed for their imaging power, and have become one of the world's most respected high-performance lens brands.

No problem Doggie, a like to work with extreme focus - http://avikwolf.livejournal.com/14403.html (samples)
Well, same here, although my fastest lens is a 50/1.4 rather than a /1.2 right now. (But I am eyeing the Voigtlander 25/0.95 Nokton ...) I do find them hard to focus -- auto focus is frequently off by enough to make you miss the focus zone, and DSLRs don't have rangefinders in the viewfinder anymore. My film SLR has a wonderfun split screen and microprism ring rangefinder, my DSLR has none.
all Voigtlander systems are better work are manual mode, and now im use auto focus only for quck shot, and where i need shooting a move object. I like manual mode, because it opening artistical look on a things. I have not worked with SLR camearas, now im verry lazy =( (i need speed and efficiency). but some years ago im shooting on my old Kodak Retina 3 camera with xenon 50/1.9 and now im sometimes to take 50/1.9 glass to the travel. On my old work im meeted with many lage format cameras ... but this is only on a work.
I find one solution http://www.leitax.com/conversion/Ol.....012/index.html =) converted are Ok - without lens violation
