Lenstip reviewed the 8-25mm PRO lens and concluded:

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8-25 mm f/4 PRO didn’t have any slip-ups and is an instrument which I can personally recommend without any objections. Its price, reaching $1100, is perhaps not that low but lenses with interesting, unique parameters never come cheap. If I, by force, wanted to find any flaw of this one I would mention the fact that I would be happier if the performance of the 8-25 mm model was on par with the performance of its 12-45 mm brother. Of course my expectations are one thing; I am aware that designing and producing an 8-25 mm model is more difficult than the production of the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45 mm f/4.0 PRO. Still in the case of the tested lens you get not only a very good sharpness in the frame centre but also practically no slip-ups on edges. At every focal length, up from the maximum relative aperture, you can enjoy good quality images across the frame, a really impressive achievement. Hats off!
