Olympus is not exactly cottage industry. I am sure that they can
manufacture lenses with less variability than an individual without a lot
of high priced test equipment(read hundreds of thousands of dollars) and
very rigid procedures. That is why lens tests are largely fallacious,
including those that used to be published in magazines. But, sigh, I read
them too.
