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.

In terms of focal length, you'd go 25 when you don't have the luxury of changing lenses or carrying 2 bodies. Kinda like a zoom that doesn't zoom.

In terms of image quality, you'd go Noct if you want to capture a lot of details (tack sharp) , M.Zuiko if you take a lot of portraits (it's flatteringly sharp, sort of like softly sharp, it's still very sharp lens trust me). It's just you don't want to show too much natural imperfections in portraits IMO.
