These are the best 12-50 macro samples I have ever seen, but I'm sure I
haven't seen enough :-).

I think the E-M5 may not be able to resolve a good 35mm frame. While I was
working with the 80/4 and 5D II setup, I found it is not even able to get
all from an old 35mm Kodak CP100. The result is ok for most application but
not the best one can get, a sharp 4000dpi scanner like N*kon 4000ED seem did
better.
Here is a crop from a 1984 Beijing shot taken with Sigma 35-70/2.8-4 on
OM-10, handheld.
