Oh yes, the Minotaur...Minoctar...whatever it was. Sharp as...
But we're being a bit unfair perhaps there. Comparing it to the
Panasonic 20mm is more reasonable, or even the centre of the old
Zuiko 18mm f3.5 but it is an ultrawide - it's a hell of a lot easier
to make a 35mm focal length lens with little or no aberration. That's
one disadvantage of 4/3rds - to get even a moderately wide aspect you
have to push the limits.
