Olympus recently announced two new flagship prime lenses for their professional Micro 4/3 collection of lenses and I was able to pick one up today to compare to my excellent Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH. I took the lens out immediately after picking one up and here are two examples with my E-M5 Mark II.

The images are stunning and the photo below was cropped heavily (approx. 60%) and it still remains sharp. Testament to the Olympus’ 45mm f/1.2 resolving power.

I’ll follow up with additional more photos as I get more seat time behind this lens.
