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

If you go by those tests that measure sharpness, the Nocticron is sharper than the 25mm f/1.2. However, it's worth mentioning that the Olympus 45mm f/1.2 out-resolves even the Nocticron, and currently has the distinction of being the sharpest lens on the system (with the second-sharpest being the Panasonic 200mm f/2.8). Again, this is all based strictly on measurements.

I don't own the Nocticron on the 45mm f/1.2, but I do own the 25mm f/1.2 It's not critically sharp; I can usually tell it apart from my 12-100mm f/4 by sharpness, and indeed, lens testing shows that the 12-100mm has better resolving power, which is pretty surprising. I also own the 17mm f/1.2 and I -think- it's sharper, but sometimes it's less clear to me. I considered selling the 25mm f/1.2 after getting the 17mm f/1.2 but there's something special about the way images appear; I really like it, and some of my favorite family photos were taken with that lens. As people often like to say, there's more to an image than how closely you can pixel-peep, and so I continue to keep and use my 25mm f/1.2.

But if Olympus ever remade it and gave it the sharpness boost people expect, I'd be very tempted to sell mine and purchase the new version.

Thanks... I wonder if the slight lack of sharpness was designed in? It does produce lovely files but I am still getting used to it and making a "sharper version" of it might ruin the "look" it gives?
