Re: Panasonic 12-32 on Olympus bodies

The 12-32 works amazingly well on an EM5 and EM1. At f/4 I could barely tell it from the 12-40 at the wider end. Even at 100% crop it really holds up to the corners. MUCH sharper than my 9-18 in the overlap range. It did have a little PF (12-40 is auto corrected) but it came out nicely using the LR5 tool.

I guess I must either have a poor 12-32 sample or an awesome 12-40.

My 12-40 is really tack sharp at all focal lenghts straight from f/2.8. Even in the extreme corners.  Truly amazing!

However, my 12-32 is nice and sharp in the center, but the corners never truly sharpen up, even closed down. I did some comparison tests at 12mm between it and the 12-40 and the difference is significant.
