Yeah, I was surprised when I learned that they ignore the wide open
data. I was glad they reported it though, so I could load my cannons
(notice the extra 'n') with it.
When I buy an F/2 prime or an F/2.8 zoom, I want to be able to use them
with confidence at the wide open aperture. With the Zuikos tested here,
I can. If I wanted an F/4 zoom (which essentially is what the Nikon 'AF
D' 35-70/2.8 zoom which scored a 3.8 on the tests, I'd buy one and save
money.

Quite right. Someone else made the point that Pop Photos tests are
better - more inclusive. I'll go with that. Still, I'm happy to see
some Zuiko tests on photodo. We needed a new discussion topic.
