Just like one can\'t take my FD photos with the Zeiss, one can\'t take them with 4/3rds (and either of these lenses), either.
Thus why I specified a preference for critiquing them on the basis of their use on a crop camera for those with that experience. I think crop can\'t compare exactly to FF either but any two lenses will render with about the same amount of difference on µ4/3 or APS-C as they show between them on a FF.
I am not an expert on the smaller formats. In fact I am not an expert on any format.
However, I have shot enough FF vs. 1.6x to know that the \"character\" of a lens is on fully realized on FF. There are hints of it on crop, and things like sharpness and contrast are relatively comparable/scalable. Character, however, is only fully revealed only on FF.
\"Character\" is much more important than many of the other individual, empirical, measurable qualities of a lens. (IMO)
