If you were to get only 1 prime lens for your 4/3 system. What would that lens be?

i voted for panaleica, but i think i'm changing my mind. the sigma 30mm's a gem. love the mechanically coupled MF ring!

How is the colour cast of the 30mm, still there?

i can't really notice any colour cast, just that CA is quite apparent @ F1.4, especially purple fringing at areas of high contrast. flare reduces contrast dramatically, even with the lens hood on. it's an absolute joy to use in low light, not to mention the bokeh is really pleasing!

mabmy, really? the 50 F2 is sharper than the L lense? wow i'm pretty surprised... i always had the impression the L lens were like the cream de la cream...

Yup, and i thought the CA on Pana-Leica is quite bad as well.

Really? if the CA is bad alot of photoshopping needs to be done... sigh... but the 1.4 is really tempting... how how how...

It sounds like we'd all be better off with one of the f/0.95 lenses, working our way up to f/1.4. I'm surprised that Leica would let their name be put on a lens with obvious flaws. That sounds more like Zeiss.

The 4/3 version of the PannyLeica. You won't go wrong.

It's bright and fast. This is a 2 shot panorama.


This is a 4 shot hand held panorama

I have been using the 20 mm for more than a year as my staple lens n recently the 25 mm. CA? What CA?
