Value For Money
The price of this lens is currently £100 less than its predecessor was at launch, being priced at £660 from RobertWhite. Although this may still seem like a lot to pay, it isn't bad value when the excellent build, fast maximum aperture and performance are taken into account.Panasonic's Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 lens is currently the closest equivalent lens for Micro Four Thirds, which costs around £420. Although this lens doesn't have as fast a maximum aperture, it does offer the convenience of autofocus and a lower price.
