Re: Pany 42.5mm f/1.2 vs Oly 25mm f/1.2

I have both. The Panasonic 42.5 is a whole lot sharper than the Olympus 25 Pro.

The Olympus 25 has ok sharpness at f/1.2 but does not improve much by stopping down. It is not good at infinity focus either. I think the Olympus 25 is my worst landscape lens as all my other lenses (m43) seems sharper stopped down at infinity focus.

The 25 Pro is a disappointment. It has low contrast and is not particularly sharp.
It does have nice rendering and build quality, but you would expect so considering the price.
