Olympus Announces the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm F1.8 (50mm, 35mm equivalent)

[sprewell]

I bought mine without much hesitation. If anyone is interested, SLR Revolution is selling at $470 so if you walk a few extra floors you save $10.

Oh and it truly lives up to its expectation of being the 45mm f/1.8 sibling - tact sharp wide open.

Since I got poisoned, I wish to return the favour lol.
I'm still new so please forgive me for poor subject
Focus was on the VMODA and the red V.

looks good definitely a lens to have and lives up to its reputation as comparable to the 45/1.8.

 

[Errz]

is the Macro converter out too?

Will this lens work well with the epl5?

Should do great lens is lightweight and overall
quite compact so the setup should be balanced. Glass and spec wise , the EPL5 is defn sufficient to bring out the 'goodness' of the lens

Shot at f/2, raw file converted to jpg.

It's doesn't quite the 75mm f1.8 kind of crazy sharpness but if you ask me, it's good enough for sure.

Also, currently only black version is available in the market. I'm not complaining though.

 

[Hitman]

I was at Tk Foto to buy my EM10 earlier and got poisoned by the 25mm f1.8. It was my mistake to ask to try the 25mm on the camera. $480 poorer now..

They never ask u try with 12-40???? kekekekeke.....
