I will give it a try for sure. My worry is if the workflow is fine with m43's lens correction

There is more to photography than portraits and architecture.

This equivalence crap plagues m43 forums all the time...

@Francis

in video, speed of focus is not the same concept as in stills, where the faster the better rules.
You may want to focus at a precise speed, in sync with the actors and the punch lines. AF...

Thanks!I was not too far off I guess and I say f4.0 is a fine compromise!

I'd expect a 4/300 to be bigger than the current 100-300 zoom. But nothing alike the typical mono pod mounted tele monsters used by professional sports shooters.A debatable prognostic is that f4.0...

This begs the question, what would it have over Panasonic X 12-35 ?

Where is this? Jurmala?

25mm minimal focus distance.
By comparison, the 1.7/20mm has 20mm minimal focus distance.

Cine lenses are near perfect from edge to edge.

For still photography, its generally overkill...

Olympus 12-50 and 60 macroPanasonic 12-35 and 35-100thats four so far out of about native 25 lenses, not counting that 3d thing, that toy cap, nor any 3rd parties lenses from el cheapo to...

I don't think its a sudden craze, I think Panasonic and Olympus got there in their respective line up. It's all cool, we have the choice.

OP is asking about wide lenses, but since we are at it, 14-42 is not tele enough! 14-140 is very convenient and 100-300 could find lots of use for landscaping.

This is not to say that it cannot or should not be done, but 24mm equiv is on the wide side for head to toe portraits.

Just an increment? Are you suggesting that GH3 is just one notch above GH1 and that the GH2 does not even count?

When I started "exposing to the right" and looking at the histogram on almost every shot, ISO 6400 and higher became not that uncommon anymore.
