I was cleaning in my appartment, getting rid of too many boxes, suddenly I saw this enveloppe which was hidden under a pile of protective foam in a box that I received from Japan 2 years ago (my Niikor 400mm f3.5 lens). And there was a thank you note inside with a small origami, what a nice surprise :

Hand held, 3 image stack. Dynamic range is superb. Somehow turned out a little bit over sharpened, I'll have to have another go at it

been using the pl25 for some weeks now, and can compare it with my now sold fuji 35 f2, and there is a difference, the olympus setup (em1 and pl25) feels more soft, not un-sharp but soft, its something about lesser megapixels and the lens, I do prefer this smoothier style from the more "perfect and industrial look and a little bit cooler look" from the fuji.

Frankly, the ladies in my circle of friends have forbidden me to portray them with the Summilux. They say that the lens depicts too mercilessly.

? thats hilarious. but this further suggest my copy is soft! or maybe im just spoilt by my sigma 56mm f1.4 sharpness..

 

[AlterKnabe]

hilarious

The 56mm is really exceptionally good.
But that I'm so satisfied with the 25mm is maybe because I develop the pictures from RAW. With DXO Photolab 3, so any weaknesses are already automatically corrected, including "lens-softness".

think you hit it on the nail, some pp sharpening does the trick

My 'near new' secondhand PL25 is in the mail and cant wait to get it and give it a try.
Apart from lots of good features I see and see mentioned here I find the light stars from this lens look pretty good.
Don't see them often though........I'm guessing it's hard to leave f/1.4 and crank up to f/14-16
