I've seen some of the short and mid range test slides under a loupe.  Alas, 
the long end is on a roll still in the camera, but destined for shooting in 
the next few days.  So far I am underwhelmed with the Zuiko.  I'm detecting 
higher center resolution at optimum aperture in the old Hoya 75-260mm f/4.5 
zoom.  I haven't looked at contrast, though.

I've been fooled by loupe "evaluations," though.  Like I first thought the 
XA's lens was pretty middling, but it looked better under projection.
