To me, for web, it looks slightly over sharpened. Something unavoidable on leaves sometimes especially considering the amazing clarity of this lens.
finally looked at it on my computer and i did double sharpen. went back did just my standard sharpen for web and it still looked a little crunchy, so i reduced the sharpening a little still. i replaced the images in the original post with the new ones: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/969329/76#9961327
now it looks under sharped in some spots and over sharpened in others. looks great at 100% though.
the lens can be troublesome – i get moire even in the corners at f/2.8, which i presume means i'm outresolving the sensor.

That looks better to my eyes at least.
Its really an extraordinary lens. Its just so damn sharp and clear.
Just got a 5N. I went out with it yesterday with my u4/3 to compare and didn't get anything I liked. Mainly I think as I'm not used to composing on an LCD. A bit better luck today but I plan to get the EVF.

Zoran, don't forget that, very soon, thre will be a 24mm f:1.8 in native e-mount. That is what is holding me back form buying a ZM 25.
philber, thank you, I am aware of it but I am not interested in it, it's too big for my taste.

Thanks Carsten, I only spent a minute blending the 1st 2. I'll have to go back and do a better job if I decide they warrant it. The 0.3ev bracketing really sucks on this camera, clouds move too fast while going into the menu to manually bracket with a wider range.
Sid, in general (for me) there are several things; control highlights (don't overexpose), control shadows if you want detail, increase saturation of lower luminosity ranges (vibrance does this quite well), increase mid tone contrast (clarity does this, as does the shadow/highlight control in PS).
