Re: EPM2 and EPL5 IBIS

Funny you mention this on the Olympus earlier IBIS- I found the same problem on the older 4/3rds e-620. Back then I mentioned it and I got stoned

you`d have to be Stoned to buy an E620 - LOL !!

Seriously, I`d never heard of the issue until Guy mentioned it and I tried it on the EPL5 I had here and Yup, it`s true - in the past I used the Panasonic 14-45 on my M43 bodies because all the other M43 kit lenses at the time either had had issues (like the Original Mk1 Oly with its wobbly fromt end) or were too optically challenged (Panny 14-42 Mk1 and PZ) ..

Thankfully with the superb Panny 14-42 Mk2 HD being tiny and there`s now the excellent Panny 12-32 , these little Olys only need IBIS for primes  but this is where you see the issue Guy mentions , I was wondering why my perfect copy of the Panny 14mm F2.5 was softer on the EPL5 than my 14-42-IIHD was despite being as sharp or sharper on the EM10 or GX7 now I know
