Even stopped down its performance is not better than a (good) kit zoom at the long end (the Pana 14-45). The samples more or less confirm the impression that the tested lens is not overly sharp. Always irritating to see two reviews (slrgear/lenstip) praising the sharpness of this lens while the PZ figures are clearly more sober....

I would not take SLRgear too seriously. Sometimes they have the most nonsensical outcomes. And that really is problematic.
Of course, that does not mean that maybe the lenstip sample is not indeed a sharper lens.
