Imaging Resource published the full review of the new 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens:

This is a premium lens, with a premium price. Fortunately, it’s worth every penny, providing optical performance worthy of the price tag. Generally, you know if you need a lens with this huge aperture size, and it’s not for the feint of heart: the razor-thin depth of field that’s presented when shooting at ƒ/1.2 demands a strict technique. But when used well, the results are exquisite.

Personal View user Hanriverprod reported a major issue with the G80 image stabilization system. Just watch the video to learn more about it!

Take a close look at the image above and now try to realize that this handehld photo shot on the new E-m1II has a 15seconds exposure!

Vasiliev who made this picture sent me that message:

“Hi :) Saw you mentioned Camerajabber article about 2 seconds handheld on Olympus E-M1 Mark II. How about 15 seconds handheld, and not on the 12-100, but using the 25mm f/1.2, without in-lens IS?))) I posted few samples in my Livejournal blog and in Instagram, you can check it (in Russian, but Google may help):
 And one more killing feature: had a lookbook/fashion shoot today, and during it I’ve done 7756 photos outdoors (-2C) and in studio, and after 4.5 hours of total shooting 28% of BLH-1 battery were still there:
