Subject: [Leica] Olympus Pen F Camera and lenses......

The lens quality on the Pen F is shockingly bad you'd expect a lot more from
Olympus certainly the major week link I the system as I look at it.
I am though basing that certainly overly broad assumption opinion on just a
few lenes

I have the 38mm F. Zuiko Auto-S 1:1.8
And the 100mm E. Zuiko Auto-T 1:3.5

Both dogs.

Woof!

A darned shame.
Glass made for the smaller image circle of "half frame" should be sharper
than normal 35mm.

With the flange distance I thin you can put Leica m glass on it.
Which would be 8 times sharper than the garbage I have so far to shoot with
it.

I can only think all the brilliant R&D which went into the camera left not
enough over for the glass.
Should be the other way round ideally.
