The different is not huge, but a side to side comparison of the same
shot under large magnification can see, I bet most of you will not see
the different in normal use. It depends, may be I'm too demanding and
more sensitive to lens resolution.
Manufacturing deviation with tooling shift is absolutely possible, the
lens came out could be all passed the outgoing standard of Olympus,
but some are just better than the other.
