A higher-resolution pro lens will definitely give you better results i.e. more detail. I compared a shot I took with my Oly 300 PRO to a friend's shot from a Sony A7R II with a Sony consumer-grade zoom lens and I thought my image had better detail. I believe that's because the 300 pro/prime lens was able to resolve more detail than his cheaper consumer-grade lens.

I would think top quality optics would be mandatory using hi res mode. I'm sure it will really show weaknesses.
The lens used was the M Zuiko 17/1.8. It is often mentioned as mediocre, a weak lens in the Olympus line of µ4/3 lenses. An average lens in other words. Maybe I was lucky and got a very good sample? In any case it is easy to see the improvements in resolution when using it in the Hi Res mode.
I'm sure it shows weaknesses meaning that a better performing lens would give even better result in HiRes mode than the mediocre 17/1.8. But wth, we have to work with what we have and I became happy seeing the lens benefits from HiRes mode.
Would you care to elaborate a little? Why would a top notch lens be mandatory when HiRes mode improves the image for any lens? Or do you judge the demonstrated improvements as meaningless?
