Hi Klaus,
How will you compare this with the Sony 16 2.8. From what i see, barring the extreme corners, the resolution
characterstics are pretty much in the same ballpark. Is Oly 12 more contrasty, better colors?

Well, it is advisable to use the Sony lens from ~f/5.6-9 only. The Oly has a broader scope than that for mainstream images.
It is a superior lens but obviously also in a very different price league.
Remember that you shouldn't compare the MTF numbers. Just compare the bar charts from a 1m distance - this is a valid approach to some degree.
