"And if you need something like a 85mm f/1.2 or f/1.4 on a mirrorless full-format camera"
Why would you need a 85mm f1.2 or f1.4? This lens is after all a ~ 90mm f2.4 FF equivalent, so for instance a Tamron 85mm f1.8 VC USD would do what this does (or a Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro almost). Or is "mirrorless" your secret point here?
Anyway, not at all bad for a 90mm f2.4 FF equivalent lens, with a reasonable weight, and nice rendering to boot. Nicer than the Nikkor Z 85mm f1.8 S at close focus, for sure. And certainly a lot nicer than my Canon FL 55mm f1.2 and Nikkor-S•C 55mm f1.2 that I'd use on APS-C to get the same FOV and (closed down) same DOF.
The Fuji 56mm f1.2 R is weighs less and is smaller than this Oly, and appears to be the only current APS-C competitor. That lens is faster (here come the equivalence flamers), but (according to Klaus' results) a bit less sharp in the borders.
Nice job, Olympus.
