the dim on Oly bodies than on their own.
Good to mention that one. B&H doesn't list shipping until 5/15. MTF seems
similar to the Oly 45/1.8. MTF in link below but are not apples to apples
unfortunately. Both weigh within 15gm of each other
though the Panny is 10 elements in 8 groups with one aspheric and the Oly 9
elements in 8 groups. The Panny lists for a tad higher. Both have 37mm filter
size. May have to wait for reviews to know how they compare but probably
neither are a mistake. Would like perhaps a half to one stop faster for dof
control. Have seen only a handful of example images for the Panny.
Have not used the Oly 25/1.8 as much as I had predicted due to no OIS and not
quite fast enough to blur many backgrounds.
