You obviously haven't done much research, almost any olympus user will tell
you the "standard" zooms, especially the 14-54 is the dog of their lens
line-up.This 'problem' is mainly at 54mm wide open as well.


The 14-54 lens has this issue, but then again the camera has a "shading"
setting to compensate, which this newbie user didn't have turned on. Can't
blame the camera when the users won't read the manual! :-) Also unless the
contrast is SUPER cranked it's hard to even see.

You did leave out his coment:

"I migrated south (in pixels that is) from the 20d and find the E-1
enviroment just right! Wonderful camera and a pleasure to use."

Every camera has it's issues and these are no exceptions. I'm sure not going
to waste my time trying to -troll- for problems on a camera I'm never going
to use though..
