I thought this was such a good article. Might be beneficial for some to read. I don't believe I've seen this posted yet.

It was posted two days ago and as it isn't a very good article in some ways interest wasn't that high. Here. (The author has edited a couple of places now.)

As has been pointed out it was posted a couple of days ago. There has been so much bashing on about equivalence this past year that I think everyone has just about had enough. People will always have differing opinions, although I think Jordan's pretty spot on the money.

Equivalence is not about opinions. But, let's say it is; how can one opinion be spot on the money and another opinion not (in this case)?

OK, I understand I shouldn't read your reply that way but rather as you don't agree with me that his article in some way isn't a very good. That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.

Here is what I wrote in the first thread (source)

Why is a biased article a good article?

IMO it's a sad things all this talk about this and that which in the end is about people trying to defend or justify their gear.

Jordan is great, he is a fluent writer and I appreciate his every-now-and-then-reviews and I like discussing with him but here he has managed to make something biased and also containing some minor errors.

It's too much of fanboyism over it.

=======================

OK, there you have my opinion.

At another forum the discussion about this article has taken different ways, for example including samples showing how lenses render differently and how this is connected to the format. The smaller the sensor the bigger the problem it seems. The also not so popular thread 5D vs E-M5 also touches that subject. I hope we some day can get super fast, sharp wide open, with little LoCA and smooth OOF background rendering sort of lenses but I haven't seen that yet.
