Well, be careful there. Don't forget to refer to the "diffraction
limited" lens resolution limits at the bottom of this page from
Luminous-Landscape.
<http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/resolution.shtml>
It says that a 4/3 sensor can't resolve more than 8 MP at f/8 or 17 MP
at f/5.6. Of course, those are purely theoretical numbers for
theoretically perfect lenses which don't exist. In any case you'll have
to stay wider than f/8 if you hope to get the full 10 MP resolution of
the E3 sensor. Unfortunately, some OM Zuikos don't hit their stride
until f/8 or f/11. OK for a modest size full frame sensor like the 5D
but not OK for those even more pixel follow-ons. The E-1 is probably OK
down to about f/10.
