Test zone: Casual test of Panasonic DMC LZ8 with Leica lens (8 Mpix, zoom x5, Mega O.I.S.)

• Test 1 - Rainy weather, slightly dirty lens (just few fngerprints but causing noticeable glowing effect)
• Test 2 - Cloudy weather, slightly dirty lens (just few fngerprints but causing slightly noticeable blurring/glowing effect)
• Test 3 - Sunny weather cleaned lens, blurring/glowing effect almost disappeared but still can be noticed at some shoots 

Summary:

• Very sensitive to dirt on the front lens, presumably because of it is flat (in contrary to typically spherical)
• Blurring/glowing effect from bright spots is present in all scenes and shooting conditions
• Disappointing quality at full zoon length
