Dawid,
I am impressed. I agree that you are getting closer. I've tried one
roll of Efke, but royally screwed up the processing. Hey, it was a
personal experiment, OK?

That surprised me, Dawid. I've been very impressed with the flare
resistance of these lense. Probably the best I've seen, though, is the
Panny/Leica 14-54. That lens is really incredible in this regard. The
Digital Zuikos do tend to mute the contrasts just a smidge. If I were
to render a guess, it's because one of the primary targets for the
E-system was portraiture and event photography. For that application,
toning down the contrast is a good thing. The lower constrast of the
lenses also helps get more effective dynamic range stuffed into what
the sensor can capture.
