Hi Chuck:
It did say in the E1 review that was posted, that the lenses developed for
the E1 had twice the resolution power of the OM lenses, due to the 4/3
format making the image size much smaller than a 35mm frame. As I look at
the E1 it has appeal, and in digital format, I might change my mind on
zooms, the idea of one mounted and one in a pocket has it's appeal.
