Missed the sale prices on the Olys

I have always trusted Imaging Resources reviews. They are consistent with my experience with the lenses I own.

Here is their review of the Olympus f/1.8 25mm

Read that, and play around with their widget here

Keep in mind that they tested this on a Panasonic GX1 (very old model ... ).

Thanks. I did read the Imaging Resource reviews as well as view a lot of youtube video reviews. Also read through posts on mu-43. Decided I would get the Oly 25/1.8.

Cut it too close when I went to order. Logged on to B&H, didn't remember my password so had to reset, finally logged on, put lens in cart, realized I added the wrong lens, removed it and went to order the 25 and the price had increased by $100. My problem for procrastinating but then I just wasn't sure what I wanted. Checked out price on Amazon and still $249 so thought I would price match but then that price went up, too.

Will look at the other lenses again today and try to drive over to a camera store (not exactly local but I have the time today) and check them out.

Wish Imaging Resource had a review of the Sigma 30 1.4.
