Well, the 135/4.5 is an excellent lens. On 35mm, I found it to be clearly
starting to soften from diffraction at f22,
but with the greater DOF worth it for some subjects and modest display sizes.
But it is definitely soft at f32, with
that overcoming any benefit from DOF.
As Dr. DOF would be quick to point out, that means f22 is trouble for 4/3. It's
just fine for web size, as your images
demonstrate, but I wouldn't stray beyond f11 on 4/3 if planning to print larger
- at least without testing.
