Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm F1.4

The $1199 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO (Olympus 25mm f/1.2) is a super-fast-aperture standard prime for Olympus Micro Four Thirds (MFT) hybrid cameras such as the OM-D E-M1 II. Taking into account the MFT “crop factor,” the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 offers an equivalent 50mm focal length.

Packed with a raft of high-end features, including 5-axis image stabilization, a new hybrid autofocus system, and a 50Mp high-res shot mode, the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II (E-M1 II) builds on what was already a popular and revered first model. The newly-developed 20.4Mp sensor is also the first Micro-Four-Thirds (MFT) sensor chip to crash through the 80-point barrier in our industry-standard lab tests, making E-M1 II the highest-ranked MTF sensor in our database.

An affordable fast-aperture, standard focal length prime lens for Olympus and Panasonic MFT photographers.

Our lab tests show that the camera sensor performs very well, but that’s only a part of the imaging chain. How well does this camera perform when coupled with some of the best performing lenses in the range? Read on to find out.

We’ve analyzed the image quality of 33 lens models, around 70% of the current range using the native MFT mount, on the new Olympus OM-D EM-10. Read on to find out which of those lenses perform best and which, if any, you should try and avoid when paired with the new camera.
