Poor man's Nocti (GF1)

The 60/1.5 also has a 49mm filter thread. It has higher contrast, wide open, compared to the 42/1.2.

The question:

My answer is a resounding, yes! This applies to all of pen F lenses.

We have not seen the real utility of these, yet, IMO.

By next year, I would expect APS-C sensored mirrorless cams from other manufacturers where the pen F lenses will be extremely useful. Imagine being able to shoot (and capture clean images) at ISO3200 or higher ISO with a 42/1.2 or a 60/1.5!
Great response, Vivek, thank you! One last question about the 60/1.5 -- is the bokeh similar to that of the 42/1.2?

Interesting observation about the APS-C mirrorless cams. I'd mistakenly assumed that the Pen F lenses wouldn't cover the wider APS-C sensor but I wasn't taking the different aspect ratios into account.

I hear rumors of new very fast 25mm in m4/3 mount...
There was a rumor about a 30mm Summilux for m4/3rds but you're obviously talking about another lens entirely.

fast is faster than 1.2.
OK, I'll bite. A Cosina Voigtlander 25/1.1?

Jonathon, Bokeh (being a very subjective and subtle matter) is different.

Since the 60/1.5 has a higher contrast, it is bound to be different. :)

However, they are a lot alike compared to other system lenses of similar FL and aperture.
