ISO100 it is, I think Brian had a go with Lightzone and GH1 files from this place.Brian -- ISO 200, I presume?
There are some high ISO samples as well.

just wondering, I've not tried lightzone, but the effects seem similar to using Photomatix and tone mapping straight from the RW2 file. One doesn't need to go nuts with making a distorted HDR esque image.Also, using Lightzone allows us to see how good the lenses are without software correction...

easily in Photomatix (and a little post processing for perspecitve in another editor, sorry I didn't save the intermediate only tone mapped image). It also saves an XMP file for me to repeat the process.
so are there other features to lightzone which are handy?
Oly could make something like the horizontal bar from the OM3/4, but adapt it to the mFT to show additional info ? They could use a 3x2 proportioned LCD EVF and use the right side to show not only shutter speed and such parameters, but also the histogram. Turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise: the top of the histogram is the highlights, the bottom is the shadow areas. It would fit nicely next to the image, because an LCD with 3x2 proportions is wider than the 4x3 proportions of the image. The histogram and other data would not have to overlap with the image, which I always consider distracting.I have Ricoh GX-100 and GX-200 and cannot work without the EVF - lots of reasons but (snip...)
I need to see the histogram live as I take the picture.
yes ... just tone mapped. As this whole RAW thing is very much in development I keep looking at ways to make my RAW images into better looking images than just accepting the basic processing. ACR is good but I'm stuck on an older version due to budget restrictions (well ... ok I spend it on other gear) ;-)Nice image, was that just one image tonemapped or multiple ?
I gathered it was not a HDRI, but I was just interested to hear what you thought of lightzone ...The image I posted was straight from the raw file, downloaded from this site.
