That is not to blame on the equipment, I'm sure, just over processed
and tinkered with!

Apples to oranges here, I can show even better ones with E-1
technology:) just kidding,
but that is a thought of shot, the dog shot is probably just a lucky
shot, don't blame
the equipment when it is the operator or circumstances!

Agreed, however the sensor isn't that bad at all from my little
experience a short
while back, handling is a different beast

Can only agree with that, and the lenses weren't all that expensive either.
BUT! there was only a set of these: 25f4, 38f1.8, 40f1.4, 100f3.5 and 150f4
and maybe the zoom released with the pen F, only with the arrival of
the FT, a few years later,
the system did grow to it's known size, a serious wide angle has
always been lacking,
with 28mm at the widest end. The quality of the first four lenses was
rather good
however!
