Mine too.  But I think it is just made really well.  If the "concentrating
the rays" were accomplished by designing for 3:2 and deploying for 4:3, we
should notice improvement when we stick those Zuikos on a E or m43 body,
shouldn't we?  I did think there was a bit of improvement in doing that,
but I think it was because the E bodies did not have Shutter Shudder.  (Now
there's an old thread...)

The capabilities of the mZ 100-400, coupled to the EM-1iii, just seem
miraculous to me.  Once AG had access to a Zuiko 600mm and I got to try it
but didn't want to waste a frame of film with it because I just couldn't
make it focus.  Now, while I wouldn't say the only limitation is me, that's
surely the greatest limitation.
