Value for Money

Although the price tag of around £760 is quite high, it isn't that bad value for money when compared with very fast lenses for 35mm camera systems.

The closest equivalent lens from any manufacturer for Micro four Thirds is Panasonic's Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 lens, which costs around £440. Although this lens doesn't have as fast a maximum aperture, it does offer the convenience of autofocus and a lower price.
