Pros: Sharpness on all apertures, construction!

Cons: Addictive

Opinion: What about this lens? 19 elements with minimal weight and a performance that leaves you speechless! At 1.2 and at very high levels that not even ff reaches, colors and contrast are as expected from such a lens! It is devoted to portraiture and low lights... but also for street and superlative! I use his M1/2 with maximum satisfaction, I will complete the triad with the 17, and 45 always 1.2! The price is ridiculous for the Qi it offers! Very solid construction, leaves a feeling of yesteryear... change of mf from auto to manual by moving back only the ring on the lens, a gem of Oly, in short, it is an OLYMPUS masterpiece!!!

Pros: Construction, already excellent rendering at ta, color rendering, blurred

Cons: Not received

Opinion: I am repeating myself after the 17 1.2 I took the 25 1.2 the yield is extraordinary, even the dimensions are not excessive, the leap in quality compared to the 25 1 8 zuiko is remarkable. Even compared to the panaleica 25 1.4 that I kept to mount it on the epl7, up to f2 they do not equalize, leaving out the difference in construction and af as speed and precision

Pros: Full-aperture sharpness, fast and precise autofocus even in low light conditions.. And then top construction

Cons: If I really have to find one, at f 1.2 I noticed that slightly vignette, which already at 1.4 seems to disappear.

Opinion: I was very wary of this goal, perhaps more for the love/hate relationship for the 50mm or equivalent as in this case, or perhaps conditioned by some criticism when it came out. I have had it for a few days, but I squeezed it a little, not in tests that measure its peculiarities in a scientific way, but relying on comparisons, with similar lenses and where the only judge is visual perception. Taken to replace the 25 1.4 panaleic, with which I made a satisfactory path in my opinion, so I do not feel to criticize it now that no longer in my possession, if not for a really unreliable autofocus in many circumstances. So first of all I struggled to show a small gap between 25 1.4 pana, and this 25 1.2 pro, this in good light conditions. Then going further, and good or bad shooting with similar parameters, in conditions of really poor light, in addition to the efficiency of autofocus, a rendering of details emerged, of the creaminess of the blurry, and above all in really difficult conditions, an extraordinary color rendering.. And I already considered the panaleic one excellent, but this is definitely on another level. But still hesitant about a form of bias, I put it to the test with brother 17 1.2, identical in appearance and function, same speed and autofocus accuracy. There are multiple shots with the same opening and the same light, with the only precaution of getting a little closer to the subjects with the 17, to maintain proportions. Result: for sharpness on most image, I would say equal to the excellent 17 1.2, which I consider a masterpiece of lens, I did not deepen in the extreme corners of the image, but overall I did not notice great differences, if not more neutral and slightly colors, colder in 17 mm, warmer and tending to magenta in 25mm.. But values that then in posts are managed at will. What really surprised me, and removed any doubt about the very high yield of this goal, were some shots in a semi-dark church, and something That I had already partly noticed, this lens returns beautiful colors even in shaded areas, almost as well as well-lit ones, and... This fact is surprising because with the naked eye these colors are not so full of intensity and nuances, as evidently in the dark we perceive them desaturated.. And so it usually happens with goalses, not so pure glass. In summary: He sees as a cat.

Pros: Sharpness at TA, great bokeh considering system 4/3

Cons: Maybe the price?

Opinion: I had 50 mm sigma art 1.4 having taken off all the Nikon kit I could not replace the 50 with this. Those who complain of the weight to me are coming to smile, is half the sigma. However I essentially use it in portraits, excellent rendering, sharpness already af / 1.2 that does not exist in full size, fast focus and precise. I feel it better at sigma but for clarity and weight. Excellent construction as all pros

Pros: Construction, precision and af speed, sharpness, blur ... pretty much everything

Cons: Nothing, maybe the price but the quality you pay at the top

Opinion: I do not understand those who say that it is great. Maybe a comparison of other fixed lenses tiny m43, but all is not great nor heavy. The building is at the top, the optical qualities also, and the autofocus is fast and very accurate. In my opinion, allowing shutter (1/16000 at f1.2 on sunny days can be reached fairly easily) has long been used in TA seen that the yield is already eccellente.rnNel m43 system there are many alternatives with regard to 50mm equiv., all excellent. But for those who want the best, this perspective is buying from fare.rnConsiglio to use it on em1 / em1 II of em5 / em5 II with extra grip, or panasonic G / GH series to not be uncomfortable in presa.rnVoto 10 :)

Pros: optical quality, build quality, flawless performance at every aperture, bokeh, af

Cons: Weight, size and price

Opinion: A view that surely ranks among the top lens of the 4/3 system. absolute quality without compromise, both for the construction (tropicalized) that for the yield. It 'a blade already at 1.2 combined with a very fast and accurate AF even at 1.2 ... do not miss a foto.rnI against mainly concern the size and weight. Compared to optical reflex it is still relatively small and light, but for the 4/3 system starts to become important perspective. Then the price ... despite being a stratospheric slow, I think that money is really too much (it costs more than any other 50 surpassing even for optical full frame) .rnLo advice to those who want quality without compromise. It 'a lens that leaves you speechless.

Pros: Construction, sharpness, AF, bokeh in relation to sensor dimensions.

Cons: Dimensions, weight, cost.

Opinion: I have achieved this goal within a few days and certainly deserve longer use for an accurate review, so I reserve the opportunity to add future impressions to those reported today. It's definitely state of the art 50mm eq. Are m4 / 3. The building is at the top and is enriched by tropicalization that I always consider a plus in a goal; This is reflected in an important weight and little in line with the idea of ??portability of the system, but just look at the optical pattern (19 lenses) to realize that you are in front of a masterpiece. The lens is enriched by a customizable function button and a very fluid ring when set in MF with the usual pump mechanism. Sharpness is uncompromised already at TA, it further improves the edges by closing the diaphragm and the blur is very creamy, considering the obvious differences given mainly by the size of the sensors, it remembers that of the 50A; Personally I would prefer a less "perfect" opt, but for cerThis can not be considered a counter. With fairly close subjects (American plan or half bust), the bokeh is incredible when compared to 2x sensor; On the whole figure shows some limit, though being much more pleasing than the 12-40 pro. The AF is fast and accurate even in low light on em-1.rnIf you love the 50mm focal point and it does not scare you weight and cost, I do not think there's anything comparable to use on a m4 / 3; Otherwise, there are many other valid alternatives with significantly smaller footprints, weights and costs. RnEDIT: After a few months of use I can only confirm how good it has written on this lens, it is worth the price paid.
