Any extensive test of Panasonic's DFD (Depth from Defocus)?
2

I was wondering if anyone has seen any extensive test of Panasonic's DFD technology?

While some people attribute Panasonic's superb AF performance to its use of DFD technology, some people consider it more of a result of its superior CDAF.

Thus far I have yet to see any test that tries to establish how and where DFD could contribute to Panasonic DFD-enabled cameras' AF performance.

Would be very interesting to see how an Olympus equivalent lens performs differently on a Panasonic DFD body. For instance, the AF performance variation between a 12-35/2.8 Panasonic and a 12-40/2.8 Olympus on a GH4. Where would the former outperform the later? AFS/AFC/AF tracking?
