...finding the lowest common denominator.
What's the frame size? 5.79x4.01 mm or 4.4x3.3 mm? We need to know so we can state the parameters in G11 terms.

Think you meant G10.Not sure what you mean here. This is the DPR resolution test of the G11, which also includes the G10:
It seems to me that the G11 resolves more, by about the ratio of pixel spacings.

It's Super 8 so 5.79x4.01, or 7.04 diagonal, or 6.1x in new money. So on a G11, it becomes equivalent to a f/1.3 - still a pretty respectable zoom.
But that's nothing, if I get a saw, hack it off the camera, turn up an adaptor and put it on the M9, then put it on the G11, it becomes an f/0.212. Much better.

The right answer was 'no it isn't', then I'd say....
Oh, never mind.

...I'm beginning to like the pretty colors in the quotes above. I believe that is bringing the thread back on track to a discussion of photography!

I can think of no faster way to get dissed in a glamor/fashion/editorial/fetish discussion than to say you use Oly. Apparently, Zuiko lenses are completely incapable of shooting pictures of pretty girls. I have seen discussions of glamor techniques in which the Canon/Nikon types went on endlessly about which and what, and ignored anyone who talked Olympus as if they had farted (pardon the crude analogy).
This, of course is completely ridiculous. Rolando Gomez, who has shot for Playboy, Maxim, and Vogue, and founded Garage Glamour, shoots Olympus almost exclusively. The glamour types who dis Olympus are all middle shelf photographers who think the camera makes the shot. Or as Stefano Brunesci says, a $1500 professional-grade camera can take pictures just as badly as a $150 point-n-shoot if there is an idiot operating the shutter.
Besides, if the Nikon or Canon freak you are talking to knows anything about photography, mentioning Zuiko lenses should shut him or her up quite nicely. There is not a Canon/Nikon/Pentax lens around that will even come close to the clarity and quality of a Zuiko. Bank on it.
