Kowa Prominar 25mm f/1.8 MFT Lens Review at ePhotozine: “performance is very high”

Share

ePhotozine tested the Kowa Prominar 25mm f/1.8 MFT Lens:

It would be difficult to argue against the usefulness of a 25mm fast lens on MFT format. As is true of any standard lens on any format, performance is very high and the focal length is very versatile.
The quality is not in question, but compared to a massive selection of alternative also very fine lenses the price does look high. This is especially true as the lens is manual focus. This leaves us looking very hard at the performance and general characteristics. For some, the price will not be an obstacle if the Kowa Prominar gives the desired “look” to the images. For others, there are a wide variety of choices, largely excellent as well in their various ways.
