Thanks for pointing out the article.

I did a real world test last night. I took four images of a magazine 
display with the E-3 and 14-54mm lens mounted on a tripod using four 
different f stops -- f5.6, f6.3, f8 and f11. The resulting images were 
cropped displaying the lower left hand corner at 100% with camera 
sharpening in RAW conversion set to +1. No other sharpening in PS was 
added. F11 even looks good to me.
