Thanks for pointing out the article.
I did a real world test last night. I took four images of a magazine
display with the E-3 and 14-54mm lens mounted on a tripod using four
different f stops -- f5.6, f6.3, f8 and f11. The resulting images were
cropped displaying the lower left hand corner at 100% with camera
sharpening in RAW conversion set to +1. No other sharpening in PS was
added. F11 even looks good to me.
