It is indeed very sharp, and I like it very much. Check this out. It prints to 11x14 nicely, and I can see individual trees on the distant mountainsides. Go one previous picture to see it in color. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/pklein/palmsprings/L1002702PalmSprSnowyMtnBW2.jpg.html Pasvorn: I used the wrong word. I meant *eye-level* viewfinder, not optical viewfinder. Holding a camera at half arm's length to see what you're photographing runs counter to everything I learned about taking a sharp photo--you don't have that third point of support with the camera against your forehead or cheek. Maybe that's why the EP-1 has IS--because it needs it. :-) The G-1 has an eye-level viewfinder, but it's electronic/live-view. --Peter Jim Laird wrote: > Speaking of 90's, has anyone used the 90/3.5 Apo Lanthar?
