In terms of image quality, the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO is capable of delivering some truly outstanding results. Traditionally, prime lenses can often be a little lacklustre at their widest apertures, but with this lens, you get exceptional sharpness throughout the range - it’s...

I think our test showed clearly that the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25 mm f/1.2 PRO is a lens which guarantees you even performance across the frame, not resolution records. It’s a feature its rivals failed to deliver.

• -

  weaker lateral chromatic aberration correction than that of rivals,, noticeable spherical aberration,, too high astigmatism,, problems with performance against bright light.

The AU$1999 price tag puts the M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens squarely into the 'premium' product category.

This is a premium lens that yields exquisite results. It may have a premium price, as well, but fortunately, it's worth every penny, providing optical performance worthy of the price tag. Generally, you know if you need a lens with this huge aperture size, and it's not for the faint of heart.

This lens is excellent. There's no way to exaggerate this. I thought that the lens would show some limitations due to the high number of elements, and I was surprised to see how accurate the lens is. It is scientific in its capture.

The bokeh and resolving power of this lens is excellent. It works perfectly with a my new OMD EM1 Mk II.

Maravilloso. Anduve a la noche por las calles del Midtown West haciendo fotos a pulso con ISO 200. Y slo perd una. Porque estornud. Con l se hacen fotos de una tonalidad y una plasticidad sorprendentes. En cuanto a la nitidez, est ah para quien la necesite.

(this is the revised google translation of my german review) So, I will keep the lens despite great criticism, because I could buy it very cheap somewhere else ... but I would like to make some critical comments ...

Wonderful bokeh! Great build quality!

The effective aperture of this lens mimics that of a 50mm F1.4 lens on a full frame camera, and while that is nice for defocusing backgrounds to better isolate your subject, it must conceded that Olympus is charging a LOT of money for what is really a standard 50mm prime lens.

I've been using this lens for a few months now. Has to be the sharpest and fastest focuses lens i have ever used. Currently using it with an EM1 Mark ii. Feels amazing, looks and is solid, bokeh is absolutely outstanding. The detail you get from this lens is amazing. Also very good for video.

Great image quality that comes at a price.

great fast lens. extremely fast focus, great IQ, terrific color rendition. highly recommended

Bokeh monster for micro-four-thirds cameras. Well-worth the cash!
