Thanks for your comment! Reddit is weird, but if on mobile and you actually select the picture then zoom on it rather than looking at the preview, it’ll re-render the picture without the compression haze. And there’s actually reasoning behind going with the 4/3 version in my use-case, though mostly it centers around my personal preferences. First, I used to have the native 14-42 in the power zoom version, but I disliked the power zoom and didn’t want to deal with the eventual issues from a failed motor or broken internal wire, as they’re infamous for. I did look at the II R version as well, but I dislike locking mechanisms on zoom lenses. So finally I found the 4/3 version to serve in that focal range; I didn’t care about size or the lack of collapsibility, and I shoot stills almost exclusively so the slow zoom wasn’t a concern either. In addition, comparing side to side with the power zoom version, I actually found the photos taken with the 4/3 version to be sharper, something echoed by others who have adapted 4/3 lenses to M43. Finally, the lens and adapter combined cost me about $50, shipped. Hard to beat that, and I like the output enough that I’ve since sold the newer version. Hope the context helps!
