Amazing results indeed. Beats pretty much anything else out there.
However, it's a brick.
There is no free lunch I suppose :-)

Now I can see clearly the new trend, lenses that have better MFT, and score better in reviews, everyone reads a review now before buying a lens, which is not a bad thing, however this is driving more and more people on paying money for things they don't need and will never use.
How many will make prints big enough for the difference to show ?Remember such result are taken with the lens on tripod, what shutter speed should be used to have the same results handheld? Can the camera Xsync handle it ? Remember it's a portrait lens.
This lens has plenty of potential for which you will pay dearly not only in price but also in weight to carry, that potential you won't be able to exploit.
A stabilized 70-200f2.8 makes much more sense here IMHO
Keep in mind that reviews are like bikinis, they show so many things yet hide the essential
