m4/3 leica 25mm f1.4...

Yes it is a C-mount.

Talking about size I have 2 of these Contax OEM belt pouches and the Schneider 25mm and a Kern-Switar 75mm F1.9 slip nicely into the other. These are Contax G 35mm and 45mm.

Looks like the 45 and 90. 😉

35mm is quite a bit smaller.

The sample photos look very promising for the 25/1.4, but I may be a hard sell as I cannot find any fault with the 20/1.7. The noise performance looks *much* better than my GF1, even though I prefer the ergonomics of the GF1... would have been happier if they just updated the performance of the original.

Oops, correct. I also have the 35mm G which, as you say, is even smaller.

Hope its like the 25mm f1.4 Summilux for the full 4/3 cameras. That is one sweet lens.

Nice trend, seeing primes for m4/3rd, but wrong FL for me :bang:

Whew finally!

Now all we need is that 12mm F2 that they say Olympus is developing.😉

Word on the street is that it's already in production as of this month at the Tatsuno Plant - where the OM lenses were built.

Doesn't a C mount 25mm lens show vignetting on a micro 4/3 camera?

Apparently there's a 45mm f1.8 portrait lens coming with the 12mm f2.0, and it's going to be priced under 300 dollars!

It's all good news on the m4/3 front - I'll be back into the system soon I think. A G3 with the 12mm f2, 14mm f2.5, 25mm f1.4 and the 45mm f1.8 sounds like a damn good travel system.

Yeah, a lot of activity on the mft front (rumors anyway). One problem, I would be tempted to buy all of the new lenses and be weighed down while traveling thus negating the very purpose of the system!

This sounds very good indeed. I would love to get (sharp) lenses in this range of cost and coverage.
