Looks as sharp as the EM1 to me .. 40mm F4 at Infinity (12-40)

100% Crops from Capture one and JPG (EXIF says EM5 not Mk2 because I have to batch-hack the RAWs to work in my version of C1) ......

Top crop is RAW obviously , as you can see this fantastic lens is totally wasted on the Oly Smear-o-Matic (TM) JPG engine which is just as detail-killingly smeary as the EM1, EM10, EM5, EP2, EP1, E500, E1 etc . I wish they`d back it off at base ISO on lowest setting) , even Sony have managed to do that (A6000), Oly JPGs still look like they`ve come out of a 60X zoom compact, Kinda hoped the EM5-II may have improved .. Ah well, who cares, they`ll be alright for proofs and product work - the RAWs are awesome of course, that top 1024X768 crop would print at 10X8 as it is ! stretching the 40mm long end to about a 200mm FOV from 80

Click Original to see full size , amazing fine detail in RAW just like the EM1
