Hi, can any one advise which of these lens has a better Bokeh which is also sharp with good details for my GH1 and I intend to get the GH2 when available.

1. Angenieux 25mm / 1 Inch f .95 C Mount Or

2. Steinheil Quinon f1.5 25mm

My needs:
For flowers and portraits.

Any other good option that you can recommend.... and adapter as well will be greatly appreciated

Thank you in advanced for your time.

P.S. Viewing thr the threads right now and noticed quiet a few are using the 50mm reach. Do share your user opinion between 25 vs 50mm. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide me with the link and your perspectives on legacy lens.
The first one is really useful and I have been viewing his pics the whole afternoon.

Your recommendation of the Pana 45mm f 2.8 is simialr to what I read last night from the dpreview m4/3 system/ Someone ask for recommendations for a Good MF 500mm lens. One person wrote that he ahs been down that road and spent a bomb on legacy lenses and in the end found that the Oly 50mm f 2 and the 25mm f 1.4? turn out to be sharper and had nicer smooth bokeh compared to his legacy lenses. He does not think that the legacy lenses are fully compatible with m4/3.
Someone from the DPI forum has recommended to wait for the Voigtländer 25/0.95 or go for the PL 25mm f 1.4.
I forgotten to mentioned that I have the 20mm f 1.7 and read that the PL 25mm f 1.4 is a shade better than the 20mm. Guess not much point going down that street.
Since I love taking macros as well, I think a macro lens like the Pana 45 mm or Oly 50mm f2 should be a good consideration. I read that the Oly 50mm does not AF so Pana 45 mm seems to be the best deal right now - AF plus OIS. From the link that you sent me I saw some pics from the Carl Zeiss Contax 5 Planar Makro 60mm f 2.8 and I am pretty impressive with the colors. Will try to gather more info between these two and the Oly 50mm.
I should check out the Sigma as well.
Which 50mm Canon are you referring too? f 1.4.

The other lens from your link that caught my eyes is Carl Zeiss Distagon 35mm f 2.8. Very sharp but need to check out if bokeh is smooth?

thank you for your kind assistance and will keep you posted what I buy eventually

cheers

Hi Kevin, thanks for your confirmation that the 25mm f1.4 is in another class of its own. I just viewed your Flickr gallery and a set of great shots. Thank you fr sharing them with me.

cheers and have a nice day.

Hi Bill, I agreed with your opening statement becos right now my investment
for the 20mm is very bad as I do not use this lens except for the odd family birthday lunches at restaurant. I have bought it since it was released! So I just started to use the 20mm and if I am successful in using it more and and most of all enjoying it -- then I will consider buying a 25mm lens with good bokeh that is sharp n detail and contrasty. I saw more images here last night and right now I fancy Klaus's KINOPTIK. Otherwise I should stick to my 20mm and not waste money.

Thank you and yes the canon and Nikon 50mm is among the long list of 25 and 50mm. I like OFF and would like to do more pics of them. My daughter has the Nikon 85mm f 1.4 and the 50mm f 1.4 is equally good as well

I will check up the link that you provided.

Thank you Bill and have a nice day
