Thanks, Moose, I have seen that 16-9 comparison before. The Nikkor
really produces an admirable result, besting the Zuiko in all aspects at
comparable apertures, and the Zeiss in some (e.g. wide open performance,
geometric distortion).
Anyway, a single test never means much, it cannot account for sample
variation. I am certainly happy with what I am seeing. The 28/2.8 AIS
has surprisingly great out-of-focus rendition (you might almost
approve), and one forgets how shallow the field can be for closer
subjects.
regards
