CONCLUSION: So to wrap up this review, we gave the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 PRO Series lens a 44/50 and our RECOMMENDED rating…

THE FINAL WORD: I’m a huge fan of Olympus and of M43 in general, and I don’t want to give you the wrong impression, because I think the Oly 25mm f/1.2 PRO is a great lens, really, I think it’s great. But it’s core value proposition is the aforementioned f/1.2 aperture, which is great in low light, but the optics at f/1.2 are only very good and not up to Olympus’s usually amazing optical quality standard wide open that we’ve seen on virtually every other OLY lens PRO or otherwise. As was mentioned previously, if you’re a working pro using the M43 system, then I think the 25 PRO is a professional necessity, but if I were an enthusiast or a hobbyist, I think I’d be more inclined to spend my money on either the Pany Leica 25 f/1.4 or Olympus’s own 25 f/1.8 both are extraordinarily capable and both are a lot less money.. I believe the Olympus 25 PRO should in fact carry a premium, and let’s say the lens were $899 or $999 instead of $1,199, then I think we’d be having a slightly different discussion. It’s a great lens, but just not at $1,199…
