The test is mainly for resolution, I found 90/2 is no poorer than any other
lenses I have used at 1:4, it has outstanding even performance from edge
to edge for close and distance objects. If you look carefully at the long
edges you will see the OM 50/3.5 is softer than the other two.

For distance objects the 90/2 has better edge resolution when compared with
my 100/2, the image quality is excellent even wide open.
