Quote:A 15mm f1 may be possible, but then where is the size/weight advantage of MFT? Look at the terrible size/weight of the Pana/Leica 42.5mm f1.2 ...Of course, the weight would be higher. It is only 115 grams now. A Canon Ef 35mm f2 weighs twice that much, a more modern Canon EF 35mm f2 IS USM even 3 times as much.
So of course, the lens is light. Not the cause of the system, but the cause of the lens itself.
You can't compare with a 42.5mm lens though, as the aperture of a 42.5mm f1.2 lens is 35.4mm, from a 15mm f1 lens only 15mm ... Again, regardless the technical look at things, it should be a nice little street photography lens.
