It should give you plenty.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, it gave me plenty. I showed me vividly how even at f/8 the Nikkor on the D3200 doesn't come close to the resolution of the Zuiko at f/2.0 anywhere in the captured image. Honestly, if you don't see that, you are simply being unreasonable or obtuse.

Do you really claim that this f/8 Nikkor image:

Exhibits anywhere near the same lens resolution as my f/4 image?

Let's look at this image shot on a D800 with similar foliage against the sky in the top-left corner (no need to wait for the full 36MP image to download). You know, the one you told me to not bother looking at, because the cheap camera would already do so much better:

Ouch. Smearing and purple fringing like there's no tomorrow. What's that? Shot at f/8 you say? And looking much worse than the Zuiko at f/2.0?

Thank you for decisively proving my point, unless you can point me to some better sample images?
