One of the questions about the OM Zuiko series of lenses is whether or not the more common and affordable 50mm F3.5 Macro lens is sharp. I'm of the opinion that this lens is actually one of the sharpest lenses of any form in the OM Zuiko line. This picture illustrates the sharpness and the contrast this lens is known for. It was taken with the Olympus E-1 5MP crop-sensor camera, so it's just the middle portion (100mm equivalent focal length) of the image area. The image was converted and processed in Adobe Lightroom.
