Arguablly one of the must haves for your Olympus mirroless camera
Local stock with GST invoice
Great timing if you bought the e-m10 mark ii from the good guys deal !
Bought one myself waiting patiently for both to come in and claim TRS at my upcoming trip !
Remember to claim cash rewards
but this one look a lot more sexy and small
Got one of those for $99 and sold my Olympus 25mm 1.8.
Build quality Samsung is better as the Panasonic is plasticky
Image quality is generally about the same.
1.7 vs 1.8 is no difference
Samsung?????
Oops - brain fart. Meant Olympus
Yep lovely lens. Unfortunately quite a bit expensive for the extra aperture.
Not gonna lie I'd love a Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 lol, but I have the 75mm 1.8 for my portrait work - that thing is a beast.
The 25mm f1.4 has some issues though. Noisy aperture blades, focus not as fast as newer lenses, chromatic aberration, pretty soft at max aperture. Still, it has been the Micro 4/3 lens that I have used more than any other in the six years that I've had it
Where did yiu get that for $99?
Not a good deal. This is the usual price for this lens, delivered new from Asian stores on eBay, with 1 year warranty. They may be gray imports, but the stores have a good rep, so what's the difference. I got mine new for about $270 in the recent 18% off ebay sale, by getting the discount off one of those stores.
Yea , but we all missed out on the 18% ;( and the max disc for eBay store wide seems to be around 10% only
For me it’s a good deal because I can claim TRS
If I have a 12-40mm f2.8 pro already, does this offer any value add (aside from being lighter)?
This is a faster lens, at f1.8. So better in many low light conditions.
I guess I found my answer here. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4165072
I'm aware this lens is one stop better, but I was more wondering overall sharpness at that focal length.
Thanks.
How about panasonic's 25mm f/1.7? it's cheaper and slightly faster too.
