Sharpness at 150mm

For these tests, the Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II lens was attached to an Olympus OM-D E-M5 II body, which in turn was mounted on a sturdy tripod. The self-timer was activated. The 100% crops represent about 1/400th of the total frame area.

Centre sharpness is very good wide open at f/5.6 but improves further upon stopping down to f/8. The f11 setting also yields excellent results.

Edge shapness is satisfactory at f/5.6 but you need to stop the lens down to f11 for best results.
