I´m not getting overexcited. Sure, it is big step ahead that finally there are high-quality fast primes with a really portable body capable of producing high-quality images with relatively affordable price on the market. Unfortunately, that´s still only micro 4/3 system so:
1) 12mm/f2 still gives ridiculously deep depth of field, roughly equivalent to 24mm/f4 lens on Full Frame Cam. So in other words, FF cam with 24/f1.4 lens is absolutely in diferent league in this regard.
2)45/f1.8 = 90mm/f3.5 on full frame. Hmm, that is "better than a spit into an eye" (as the phrase has it) but still: Far, far behind my 85mm/f1.4 on D700.
I´m just eagerly waiting for somebody to put the full frame sensor into a relatively light (of course it will always be bigger than m4/3) body and offer some fast primes with that. Currently only the overpriced M9 does that... Maybe Fuji with X200 model is a possibility in the future...? ;-)
