- PRICE! It's about $25 lens on eBay.
- SIZE! It's so small that you can take it in your pocket next to your smartphone. Really nice!
- QUALITY! Or lack of quality or... whatever. It's unique! Swirly bokeh, paper thin focus plane. It's impossible to describe it. You just have to see it.
- SPEED! 1.7 - nice :)

This lens is definitely much better for APS-C sensor than Micro 4/3 one. Why? Because bigger sensor gives you the opportunity to get all the near-to-edge optical flaws. M4/3 uses smaller sensor so those miracles don't appear on your photos. Yet, it's still lovable to use.
I'm still waiting for my Fujian 25 mm 1.4, which covers a narrower area, so the vignetting and blurs are more visible.
I must admit, I've already used it to take some professional and personal photos and videos. It's absolutely worth a try!
Camera: Lumix G2

I just adore the dreamy bokeh it gives on close-ups. Minimum focus distance is about 30 cm/1 ft. |
Pair of photos taken from the same place, with same settings, but focused at different distance.
Great demonstration of the strong points of this lens!
