This amused me, and it became a self-portrait as well:

OM-D E-M5 and PanaLeica 25/1.4 Summilux.  Regarding Jay's (LUG) comment 
on the Fuji XE-1's detail, the little OM-D is no slouch either.  This 
picture had some serious color moire on the lighter of the two pairs of 
dark pants (easily fixed in post-processing, and I like it better in B&W 
anyway).  This is the first time I've seen moire in my OM-D photos.  The 
weave of the tweed fabric is pin-sharp and detailed. The AA filter in 
the OM-D must be really weak, so it barely diminishes acutance, but only 
shows moire in really extreme situations like this.

Uncropped color version of the above photo, with the moire fixed in 
Capture One,

People who write off micro 4/3 might want to reconsider.  With the 
really good prime lenses, this camera really rocks.
