The lighting is quite masterful.
Impressive.
Vit Adamek: If it is anything like the popular EF 85mm 1.8 USM, with lovely creamy bokeh, I would be all over it at this price, if I have not switched to micro 4/3 completely. The micro 4/3 equivalent in Olympus 45mm 1.8 have such a lovely rendering, especially the bokeh balls are superb, round and smooth.
I would love an 85 1.8 AF lens for M43 at $200!
LakeSuperior1: I will be grabbing one of these for sure!
For me, 640g is heavy, unfortunately.
Peter Del: "keeps the weight down to just 353g". Interesting, my mFT 9-18, 4-5.6 weighs just 155g.
@ Richard
"Yep. That’s an 18-36mm f8-f11 equivalent lens"
Peter Del: "keeps the weight down to just 353g". Interesting, my mFT 9-18, 4-5.6 weighs just 155g.
But still no explanation as towhy f/8 and f/4 are the same!
Really, the end.

@MikeRan. If you look at my Gallery, you'll see that I know how to take photos

I don't need to do any reading.

I do not understand these arguments, which is why I suggested an alternative method for expressing equivalence. To claim that f/8 and f/4 are the same is patently silly.
The end.
Isn't it about time the equivalent twaddle was dumped in favour of angle of view?

@ MikeRan. Nonsense. F/4 is F/4. At F/8 the picture would be under-exposed 2 stops if ISO and shutter speed are maintained.

As an ex-ballroom dancer, this is a well deserved win. In my past, when photographing the dancers, the rule was to always show their feet, but this is such a good viewpoint, it doesn't matter.
Thanks Wildbegonia, David and Edward for your kind comments.

A worthy winner
Sue Anne Rush: A beautiful photograph of the pink lilies.
Thank you Ms. Rush, much appreciated.
I hoe they put all this in a PEN F mark2
Peter Del: No. 5 for me, simple and elegant.
No. 11 by Max Rive is strange, I've never seen clouds have a straight edge (right hand side)

I notice in the montage of cameras they include a PEN F, so they appear not to have forgotten it. Perhaps because they know they are bringing out a mark 2, eventually.
Exquisite
