Interesting review thanks. This was a very interesting new offer for mFT, so it was good to see the review up so soon.



One of the problems with all the pancake mirrorless primes is their lack of close-focus ability (i.e. 1:10 or 1:12). Especially with the mFT lenses who already limited on the shallow end of the DOF range, they are further hindered by their inability to close focus. The HyperPrime 12mm still doesn't really get that close (1:8?), but it's a bit better espcially combined with it's effective f/1.4.



The two lens flare issues highlighted in the review are pretty severe however.
