Albeit I do think that this 42mm f/1.2 is a nice piece of engineering ...

I do not really see a need for such a lens.

 

For object isolation using shallow depth of field, you're better off with a

85 f/1.x on full frame (regarding the price of the Leica lens, I would

personally prefer an old EOS 5D(1) with a EF 85/1.8 ... bought used,

I get away with half the price Leica asks for it's lens)

 

For fast shutterspeeds in low light, most cameras already offer

good to acceptable high-iso capabilities ... so f/2 is usually

good enough for that.

 

And finally, one main aspect of a m4/3 camera is "being small" ...

somehting that does not really apply any longer if you mount

the 42/1.2.

 

So, besides being nicely made ... I do not see a market for this.

 

Just my thoughts .. Rainer
