Hi guys,
I'm thinking of buying a C-mount 25/1.4 lens+adapter for my E-PL2.
I mainly want it in order to have a 50mm equivalent with a bit more depth of field separation than my 20/1.7.
I saw there are a few such lenses, and saw some examples in a C-mount thread in this forum. I liked some of the results, but not all of them.
I wouldn't mind some vignetting, but I want a lens with descent contrast, sharpness and nice (not swirly and weird) bokeh. Shortly, I want "standard" and not too weird look.
I'm also looking for fair handling, which might be an issue with these tiny lenses. I mostly refer to focusing, because my intention is to use the lens only wide open.
Any recommendations?
How is the Pentax for example?

The Pentax is definitely not for you, because it's vignetting a lot and the bokeh is swirly (all the shots below are @ f1.4).
Moreover, the focus ring isn't useful, it's very close to the camera.
PS1 : I love a lot that lens.
PS2 : Next time please read carefully the C-Mount thread, all this is already explained :

Thanks a lot!
Also went through the thread again and beginning to like the look this lens gives.
Or is it just that I want a new toy
?
PS - Is there more than one Pentax 25/1.4 lens?
Are Pentax C22525KP 1", Kipon and Cosmicar the same lense?
