Hi There

Well, They are small jpgs created from Lightroom - mostly with no sharpening done, either before or after export. I find that if you maximise sharpness on LR then exporting jpgs look 'crunchy' and unpleasant, sharpening afterwards is a real balls-ache! I'm not sure if anything else happens on the forum upload - personally I don't think they look too bad,  the lens is incredibly good - the real revelation of the camera. 

At any rate, if they are not to your taste because they aren't sharp enough, then I'm to blame, not the camera!

biggest problemi think  is the export to a small jpg. but also on your page it is obvious that a 43 lens has an smaller DOF . for an autofocus its sometimes difficult to sharpen on the right spot but also manually it stays difficult.

Not sure there is too much problem, I never sharpen on a particular spot, and I wouldn’t have thought one would ever really judge a lens on the basis of jpg exports on a website! 
if you would like a DNG of any of the shots so that you can get a proper handle on it, just pm me and I’ll send them

I don’t know about the camera I just enjoyed the photos, I was almost back in Greece for a moment!
