Re: Lenses for M43

MZ, while I am sure the Panny/Leica f1.4 is an excellent lens, the Olympus f1.8/25 appears to have excellent performance in every area, and is probably very considerably cheaper. It depends on how much moolah that extra 2/3rds of a stop maximum aperture is worth to you, and whether the size/weight difference is unimportant. IOW, it is a very personal decision, to which there is no right or wrong answer.

For myself, I would prefer the f1.8/25. However, I already own the FTs f/2.8 25, and it suffices for my needs for a small prime with good optical characteristics. It is not as good or as fast as the f/1.8 25, but it is good enough.
