I was wondering if anybody has experience with both of these lenses. I know they're different focal lengths but I'm wondering which has the advantage, strictly judging on sharpness. Would be using either on my Lumix G7. Video and stills. I've seen great reviews on both, but neither seem to come out as a superior lens.

Thanks guys.

Theyre both great lenses optiically. (i only have the 25).

But I feel the 25 FL is more useful, but that depends on how you shoot and what other lenses you have.

Personally 25. 1.2 should be cheaper and I would use 1.2 on a 25 more often.

On the 42.5 I would be stopping down alot (depends on what you shoot) so perhaps you can get buy with a 1.7/1.8 portrait lense instead and have both it and the 25 1.2 for the same price as the Nocticron.
