Back to E-M1 Mk.II Lens Fest, Part 1 F = 12 mm
	Full frame, reduced, at F/8	F/3.5
	F/4.0	F/5.6
	F/8.0	F/11
At 12 mm the lens performs at par with the best, starting at full aperture. Very good resolution in the center even wide-open, corners catching up at or before F/5.6. Slight vignetting, mostly gone by F/4. A very nice show. Back to E-M1 Mk.II Lens Fest, Part 1 F = 25 mm
	Full frame, reduced, at F/8	F/5.1
	F/5.6	F/8.0
	F/11	Again, a good performance from the widest at F/5.1 to F/11; I would say not as good as at 12 mm, but not far behind. So far this seems to be a good lens. I was suspecting the F/8 sample to be a fluke; it looked a bit softer than the one at F/5.6, but the other copy (made about 10 seconds later) looks identical.

Indeed, long end is the weak spot. It is not really ban, but worse than the other focal lengths, with the resolution best at F/11. Eleven? Still OK for general, non-critical use, but just that. The same focal length looks better on the original E-M1. Perhaps the lens does not cope with higher sensor resolution? Back to E-M1 Mk.II Lens Fest, Part 1
