I really wonder if someone shoots with both 4/3 SHG (maybe 150mmF2?), and m4/3 75mmF1.8. I'd love to see/read an experience based comparision (on IQ ofcourse)

As a ex-FT and current mFT user I downloaded a ton of various mFT lens samples to see what is worth buying and imo right now the best quality from mFT (primes) is no match for FT SHG glass. Must say I'm a little bit surprised because it looks like before OMD no one except lens review sites and FT owners praised that SHG quality. And right now there is a hype around spectacular mFT primes while those spectacular primes are actually a class below "old" SHG zooms. Was it really the old Panasonic sensor that bad that no one cared about optical quality of the system ? I don't think so, and I don't have an explanation.

I did the "same" (well kind of...not very scientific....comparing 75mm results with 4/3rds SHG results...photographs that are available on the internet, that is), but wasn't able to see much IQ difference between them. Anyway a difficult excercise on any monitor and not seeing printed versions of both results. Maybe I suffer from poor eyesight (in that case any lens will do:-).

Do you actually use both 75mmF1.8 and any SHG lens (preferably 150mmF2)?

Thnxs for answering!
