Zuiko Digital 14-42mm vs Leica 14-50mm with Olympus E-400 test

Olympus E-400 with Leica 14-50mm
   
The Olympus E-400 may be pitched as an entry-level DSLR, but thanks to its brand new Kodak 10 Megapixel CCD sensor, it becomes the highest resolution Four Thirds body to date. The Leica D Vario Elmarit 14-50mm may be the 'kit' lens for the Panasonic Lumix L1, but it's also one of the most exciting optics for the Four Thirds system. Are you thinking what we're thinking?
We couldn't resist fitting the most talked-about Four Thirds lens on the highest resolution Four Thirds body to see how the combination performed. You can find full technical resolution results in Our Olympus E-400 review, along with details of the Leica's corner sharpness, geometry and vignetting performance. We'll also be publishing a full review of the Leica lens including optical stabilisation results as soon as pricing on the lens as a separate item is available.
In the meantime though we thought you might enjoy a brief page showing how the Leica lens compares against the Zuiko Digital 14-42mm kit lens on a real-life outdoor subject using the E-400. Read the full article
