Brilliant!
By N. Iqbal
I got my lens yesterday! I am usually very lazy, but I was so excited about this lens, that i braved a clear windy day in Portland and shot some pictures at night. I am blown away by the performance of this lens. I was able to take night shots like I have never done before. The lens is fast, clear and the autofocus smooth and quick. The aperture ring is a joy to play with (if you have a Panasonic L1 or Leica Digilux 3) and the out of focus blur (bokeh) is remarkable. Its pricey, but its probably the best lens out there for the four thirds format! get it before its gone!

By M. Sallai
I agree this lens is brilliant - sharp, superb smooth bookeh, and great low light performance. This prime lens (i.e. it is not a zoom) forces you to be in the scene which makes for a more authentic almost immersive viewer perspective as the perspective is very close to the human eye. Similar to Leica street photography - by the way Leica Germany provided the algorithm for the lens design - this lens is based on the Leica f1.4 Summilux lens and also bears the Summilux name on the front - in a sense a Leica lens build by the Japanese to German quality standards. I have had the lens since 2007 and use it on my Leica Digilux-3 SLR (incidentally also build by Panasonic with some differences though). This great lens is my favourite lens and is almost permanently attached. The lens will work with all 4/3 standard cameras i.e. Panasonic L1, Leica D3, Olympus SLRs and for other brands one could possibly use a 4/3 adapter (not sure though). A really great lens, it will be a collector's item one day.

Love this lens
By James R. Knight
If you're looking at this lens, you know what it is. It's a classic, standard angle, fast prime lens. The low light performance at f/1.4 is great. AF speed is slow though on my E-600. I believe the internal mechanism on the lens itself is slow. It does lock on in some pretty low light situations though (just not quickly). There is some vignetting at f/1.4 and f/2. This is largely gone by F/2.8 or f/4. The lens is pretty sharp at f/1.4 and I would say as sharp as it gets by f/2.8. Diffraction sets in by f/11. I wish it has a DOF on the lens, but I guess you have to buy old glass these days to get that feature. It is on my camera 75% of the time.
