Panasonic Leica 25mm 1.4 really a Leica?

Well, I actually bought it a month ago. Yes it's sharp and the colours are very nice and I'm not regretting it one bit. I bought it because I wanted a 50mm full frame equivalent and the f1.4 aperture. Given the size of this lens they could have made it f1.2 if they wanted to and I would have paid more for it willingly.

Thanks for pointing out the Steve Huff experience with it. It's an excellent writeup. I've never used a real Leica lens and I'm curious how much better a real Leica can be but I doubt I want to go through the hassle of manual focussing a Leica on my OM-D. And the sheer expense of Leica lens ownership.

You mentioned you're interested in the new Olympus 17mm as well and I say go for it and get them both! Well I just might do it too because I'm trying to emulate the Henri Cartier Bresson style and he mostly carried a 50mm and a 35mm.
