Dizzy only? My eyes started to ache.I got dizzy just looking at the foliage.
Very nice.I just received this lens (in m43 mount) this week and I have been playing with it on my GH2. Given the price, it is great and I am happy with it. I think it is awesome that we m43 (and NEX) owners have even more options with regard to lenses. For the price, it is a nice addition to my kit.
Here is a photo of the master of our home (shot with this lens... wide open at f/1.7 and focal point was the left eye) ...

Thanks. I also have a Nikon D3 (actually, 2 of them for my wedding work) and one of my favourite lenses for portraiture is the Nikon 85mm f/1.4D. It is sharp in the centre but soft on the edges and corners wide open (or even stopped down a little) ... so when I photograph a subject such as a bride, I can keep their eye(s) sharp in the centre of the frame and from there, you get this dreamy soft OOF look all around it, especially if the portion of the scene near the edges of the frame are not in the same focus plane. I always use this lens wide open.
That's a nice image! In a way it's the opposite use of the lens compared to the images Uwe started the thread with. A fast 70mm equivalent lens good for portraits with no leaves or similar in the background!? (I still can't make friends with the swirl, and more, in the first image).
