I’ve always been impressed by the great performance of the Micro Four Thirds cameras. When I first used a Leica Summilux-M 35/1.4 Asph. with an Olympus E-P1 I was stunned, how sharp and brilliant the pictures were.

In a couple of days I’d like to show you, what the Leica Elmarit-M 24/2.8 Asph. can do on the E-P1.

But for now, here’s a comparison of the Sony Nex with the Leica 24/2.8 vs. the Olympus E-P1 with it’s 17/2.8 pancake lens.This comparison is really just for fun, since it’s not really fair. You’ve got two different cameras, one with a dedicated lens, the other one with an adapter and a lens, that’s by no means designed for the camera.

Still, the results are pretty interesting. Look for yourself:
