This looks really great. Very sharp lens, those RAWs are extremely detailed.

Maybe I can spoil myself with this sometime. I don't imagine it will ever go on sale...

That makes a lot of sense.

Seems a bit bulky compared to the OM-X.

@Impulses - Out of curiosity, what do you think the obvious gaps in Olympus' lens line-up were that would be tremendously more important than fast primes?

By contrast, I don't think anyone,...

Hard to deny that the 58mm/f0.95 is one of the biggest misallocations of corporate resources in recent history.

Yeah, I'd call this arguably the single most important new lens in the Z system.

Very different reactions, indeed.

40mm is objectively a superior focal length to 35mm, so no, you won't miss it. ;)

f/0.95 vs. f/1.0 is a non-negligible difference.

It's roughly 1/6 of a stop. Small, but probably not appropriate to round.

Should the (few) f1.9 lenses be rounded up to f/2.0? Or f/3.8 (which...

I don't think it's possible for Panasonic to "update" the 20mm/1.7 to focus faster. It's an inherent limitation of the lens design, not just specific technologies or component specifications, like...

As I understand it, lens corrections on the software side are standardized, regardless of lens and body.

The principle advantage of the 20mm/f1.4 over the venerable 20mm/1.7 pancake will almost...

The much, much smaller size and much faster AF of the GR are both going to be significant advantages.

Oh wow, 40mm...

This instills a desire in me for a compact camera I didn't know could exist.

The $1000 price tag is just too much for me though, I think...

I remember being a bit puzzled by that comparison, to be honest.

There is a huge difference in focal length on the wide end (10mm vs. ~13mm) and in exchange for just over 2/3 stop more light, you...

With this new batch of f1.2 lenses, I would be very slightly disappointed as a professional resolution chart shooter, let me tell you!

Malling - I assume you're talking about the Canon EF 50mm/f1.2 in your comments, not the new RF 50mm/f1.2?

Because the RF lens is very sharp from f1.2, even into the corners. You'd really need to...

Did you miss the "portrait" part of his comment whenever he says studio/portrait?

Again, if you want a fast aperture lens primarily for subject isolation and not specifically low-light...

Who's talking about a studio setting? And if you are talking about a studio setting, this lens has absolutely no advantages whatsoever.

I think the reason people are talking about 85mm/f1.8 being the closest equivalent to this lens is not due to strict equivalence, but due to its potential for subject isolation, and that comes from...

I don't think this is an unusually bad copy, at least not compared to those tested by other reviewers.

DPReview held their punches in this review. If you want to read an actually scathing review,...

I guess Daemano just wanted DPReview to explicitly acknowledge that fact in the review? I'm not sure why it's necessary, though.
