I understand that this test is forthcoming. I would be grateful if you could also check whether the lens shows vibration-induced blur/double images (long range, shutter speeds between 1/80-1/200). Moreover, could you please check whether this effect can be avoided by touching the lens with your finger.



TIA.

In the field I had one anomaly at faster shutter speeds than that.

Mmmhhh...I am wondering why it takes so long to test this lens. Initially, it was mentioned that this lens would be tested first. Now the longer zoom was tested first. And other lenses.



Did you have to return several 14-42 pencake zooms due to bad centering or this lens so bad that you are reluctant to post the test?

Sebastian has been on vacation for the last 3 weeks. He us doing the MFT tests.

Even without a review, I couldnt stand the urge to get the x 14-42 because it's just so different.. I've been using it during a month-long travel in Vietnam and Cambodia and have not been disappointed! No problems with 'double images' on my E-M5 either.



I even think the lens is a little bit better dan the Oly 12-50, but then the 12-50 has a lot of other things in it's favour (weatherproof, macro).
