Hello,
I'm looking for a decent standard zoom for my micro 4/3 (Olympus E-P2) body. Neither the kit 14-42 nor Panasonic's 14-45 have really impressed me - both seem rather soft toward the edges of the frame, especially at the wide end. I was wondering if the Olympus 14-54mm II would be a real upgrade in terms of sharpness. Thanks!
