<< How are the Zuiko superwides at correcting for [coma]? >>
Popular Photography only tested a 24mm f/2. The apertures at which it
disappeared (critical f-stops) were as follows:
1/3rd out: f/2.8
2/3rds out: f/3.5
Far edge: f/5.6
Three other lenses also suffer from coma: 35mm f/2.8, 40mm f/2 and
35-70mm f/3.6 Speaking of the latter, they found that lens to actually
be a f/3.44~f/3.75 There was also a 20% reduction in measured flare when
using the supplied lens hood. Interesting to look back over these tests.
Unfortunately, Popular Photography only tested a few Zuikos over the
years, as listed at:
