"It is not a pixel peepers lens, it is a photographers lens." Well said. That sentences made me curios. I want to test that lens sometime.

I bought the Mark i with my GH-3 way back when I started my photographic journey. It was a great investment. I'm gonna skip the Mark ii but I'd recommend either version to anyone learning photography. Shooting this prime forced me to think about composition, depth of field and the importance of the exposure triangle. Good on Panasonic for updating an oldy but good.

I just love this lens. I have owned the Lumix 25 1.7, Zuiko 25 1.8 and this one, I sold it some time ago and I regreted immediately, I just bought another unit this week and I am incredibly happy with it. With the weather sealing makes the perfect companion for my Em5 Mark III, and there is something about the contrast and colors this lens generates that really pleases me.

Thank you for yet another great review. In your videos I learn about products but more importantly, I learn about philosophy of use and proper technique. Thank you Matti for taking the time to share your expertise with us.

I have the mark 1 25mm and I love it for the reasons mentioned in the video review above.Using it on my Lumix GX9 for about 3

Agree with you. I love this lens because of the different characteristics at 1.4 and about 2 to 2.8.

Thanks. You saved me several hundred. I always liked the M1. While weather sealing is great I dont need it here in southern CA.

Trank you for the video. I think this lens is a very usefull update of the predecessor. The Mk.I was already very good. Just a bit slow, loud focusing and not weathersealed. They fixed that.

Yeah, mark I makes a very clear rattling noise during focusing on my both G85 and GM1. It's a little bit spooky first time you hear it, but after couple of months / a year you get used to it.

Thanks for the review! Does the Mark II lens have focus breathing? The Mark 1 had quite a bit of focus breathing, I’m hoping the new one fixes it so it’ll be much better for video

Thanks for the review of this lens. Really like the sound of it. I understand what you mean about character. I've a Olympus OMD Mark II and bought the Pro 25mm lense but I find it too heavy. I've been inclined to sell it and keep the 12-40. In some ways I find my images lack the soul of my old images taken on film. Which is why I picked up a X100F I'm loving it. When I can get out to a camera store I'm going to check the Leica 25mm. It might help me reconnect to my OMD.

I like my Lumix 25mm f1.7 -- was very affordable, not weather sealed and no stabilization, but for my photo and video purposes the quality is fine. Yes, the Leica 25mm f1.4 grabs a little more light and is now weather sealed, but -- for me -- it's not worth the additional cost for the Leica. I do not see a specific improved spec on the Leica lens which I need (enough) to justify spending all of that additional money compared to the Lumix 25mm f1.7. But that is me specifically and my needs/budget. If I made a living from my photography and videography (don't I wish!!!) -- then moving up to the Leica lens would almost certainly happen -- in the long run the improved features over the 25mm f1.4 would definitely be worth the investment. But thank you for the time checking out that lens -- and considering the various types of "stay at home" orders across the world -- Finland is a beautiful country (even in the Lumi!), so if you are able to get out, and keep a distance from other people -- do it. I can still do that and it is helping keep me sane!

What is the equivalent to in F stop to full frame 50mm?

I hope Leica makes the 42.5mm 1.2 or even lumix with the 1.7 with weather sealing.

While I wish the optical formula had been revised, there are enough folks happy with it. My bigger hope is that more of the mft lineup gets revised with weather sealing. If the g90 and em5 bodies are sealed, there should be enough small primes to put on them, not just this lens and the oly 60mm macro.
