Just did some tests.  I did a custom white balance reading using the Tak in
what looks like the same light as yesterday and got a reading of 6100K.  I
took a shot of a scene across from my home and the capture looks very close
to reality.  I took a custom WB reading using the ZD 40-150 and got a
reading of 5700K, took a shot of the same scene and both this shot and the
one with the Tak have the same color balance or darn close.  I initially
processed the RAW image of the Heron at 5600K and doing it at 6100K warms it
a bit.  Though not a major change, I do like it more. So it looks as though
there is a 400K shift toward the cool side in the Tak as opposed to the
Zuiko Digitals.

What is a bit weird is that an auto WB reading of the scene across from my
home gave a 5300K reading with the ZD but a 6200K reading with the Tak. The
auto setting if taken for truth looks like a gamble. :)
