Highlights
Quality
Image quality is excellent i am noticing that even at the thin f1
Probably the shortest review ive ever written simply because the lens is incredible and you have to feel it in hand and use it ... Read More
The build quality is second to none
Not sure what i will do with the 25mm f1
Price
Rumor and history has it that the prices go up nearly each year
Competitiveness
Plus i like it on my em5 instead of black lenses
The earlier version did not have an aspherical asph surface and used a 43mm filter instead of a 46mm filter
I havent seen bokeh that creamy that high quality that saturated and full of vibrance before on anything but a 11k 300mm f2
