Quite sexy.

Oh wow; any reviews yet ? Ack; the pdf indicates an availability date of July. Why do they 'release' a lens before it is available ?

Good news is that the metal finish is blue-ish, to match the silver OM-D <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> and not champagne like the E-P & 12mm fashion. Silly Olympus.

How often can one release a lens? I thought they did that some time ago, together with the 60mm.

Some sample images:

Looks fairly decent at f1.8 <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



mtf can be found here:

If i understand the mtf correctly; the resolution is not that high at f1.8 but contrast is rather high.

Wow, the E-M5 and the three primes, 12, 45 and 75 would be an exceptional travel kit and I would even add a cobra flash. I think this is bound to take serious market share.

The 25/1.4 also fits in there somewhere. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Any one has seen any update on the "rattle snake"? Does it rattle on the E-M5?

My new 75mm f1.8 also rattles on my OMD, louder than the 25mm/1.4

Well, the M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 rattles a bit on my GF1. I decided to ignore this.
