Can, soundimageplus has a review on the PL25mm lens; 1 of the cam he used was EPL1, in fact, all m43 body can use.
Hi, can you show us the IQ difference between EP2 and EP3?
Got..u showed me the difference..that's what really 'kick' me into the ep3 camp....and the super fast focusing make faster with the PL 25/1.4..damn cant stop thinking abt it. Think I will be getting the 45mm/F1.8 too to play play since its so cheap..hopefully this few wekks..

Happy shooting, folks!

I think i saw it in Alan Photo @SLS yesterday while hooting lens from there
Reading through how some people test the lens by going into the shop and taking a few photos with the Leica lens and then looking in the camera LCD to decide that it's as sharp as their Panasonic 1.7 seems incorrect. Don't you need to download into a computer and pixel peep?
Edit: I found a resolution test on an Australian website. You can see that the Leica is far sharper than the Panny on JPEGs (you compare the red and blue lines between the 2 graphs. Ignore the RAW)
Here is the Leica 1.4
Here is the Panasonic 1.7

Yes agreed. Its hard to judge sharpness and colour AND bokeh from camera lcd screens. At the minimum, u should have it on a colour calibrated computer screen. Thanks for posting the info. Good to know!
In any case i alrdy hv the lens. I am very pleased with the results. I posted some photos in this thread. I love the colour, the sharpness n the bokeh effect.

Oly5050, like to hear you comment on the below comparison since u have the equipment. Thanks in advance.
EP3+25mm 1.4 vs E5+50mm (i assume this is Zuiko 50mm f2)
which one is better..giving the sensor is almost the same. let say, at f4.

yup manage to hoot the panny 20mm fr APthanks for the info! will call them to check. Will want to try to pick up tomorrow.
Hope you had a good lens catch yesterday.
wallet not big enuff to hoot the leica 25mm ;p
Dun need be so angry lah..just abt a lens...we can all agree to disagree mah...chill...
Its a little hard to compare actually since one is 25 mm and one is at 50 mm. If I shoot a scene, do I shoot the 25 mm 2 times closer to get the same FOV, or do I shoot at the same distance and then crop in? In both situations, there will be some differences because the amount of light that is coming to the sensor will be a little less than in the first instance. Anyway, when I get the time, I can try. Probably go and take some facial portraits with these gear and see. But from my experience, I think the 50 mm on the E5 will beat the EP3 25 mm leica. That is what I think.
