"This assumed Zuiko lenses have the same sharpness and MTF as Leica lenses
which I'm sure at least they are very close."

Is there any reason at all (other than hype, that is) to think Leica lenses
are better than Zuiko?  I know it's traditional to *say* Leica lenses have
superhuman powers, but actually, Olympus makes lenses about as well as they
can be made.  Some of the test results of Leica lenses that I've seen showed
that, although definitely respectable, they were not distinguishable from
other good brands.
