january "Shutterbug" on E-P1 being superior to Leica M8

Apparently there is a review to this extent. Anybody has access to an electronic version?

In my quick browse, I don't see a comparison to the M8..

"In fact, based on my testing of a new M8.2 and some expensive Leitz lenses, the image quality of the Olympus E-P1 meets or exceeds those I made with the Leica."

Page 1 - the paragraph just after the picture of the EP-1 with the flash.

thanks. maybe this part:

"Some photographers, myself included, see the E-P1 as an affordable Leica M camera; otherwise, what’s really the purpose of that oh-so-retro VF-1 optical viewfinder that comes with the 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens? In fact, based on my testing of a new M8.2 and some expensive Leitz lenses, the image quality of the Olympus E-P1 meets or exceeds those I made with the Leica.

Heresy? OK boys, get out the pitchforks and start warming up the stake but I’ll stick by that statement. "

I didn't read in much detail. I figured if you were going to make a statement like that, you'd back it up with more than just one line.

Having owned both, not my experience at lower ISOs. M8 is not as good at high ISOs. Certain my 35 cron at f2.8 did a lot better than the 17mm pancake.

The article disn't state what lenses were used on either camera. My guess is that the author was using some Leica lenses on the Olympus and not the two Olymous MFT lenses available.
