Andy always said that the 4/3 cameras got images just as sharp and detailed as the full frame ones. That's been my experience too. They also enlarge very well. No loss in the exposure.

Anyway! Olympus makes great lenses! They don't advertise much since the camera division is a minor part of the whole industry. Their main focus is on medical supplies. Endoscopes, scopes for colonoscopies and upper endoscopies, and like that. These are medical grade; they have to be sharp and crisp. Their camera lenses follow from those in the quality.

I don't believe that I've taken any photos of very up close objects, alas. If I had, I would post them! Oh well . . .
