Agreed. Far beyond my expectations.
This shows the strength of a dedicated design.
(FWIW, I'm surprised that Cosina did design it for 4/3 and not APS-C in order to cover the other formats)

Cosina/Voigtländer have a strong connection with the rangefinder community. If you look at them (e.g. http://www.rangefinderforum.com) it is Leica M9, µFT and lots of 35mm film <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Also if you want a proper standard lens (RF people care about this) on µFT it would be a wide on APS-C. A 38mm equivalent on APS-C with speed 0.95 would be a sensation. It seems this case you can't really have one serving both. I think there is just a lot more music in µFT at this point in time than in the Samsung and Sony alternatives.
Have you seen [url="http://photo1.ganref.jp/impression/0/378/cosina_01_l.jpg"]http://photo1.ganref...cosina_01_l.jpg[/url] ? This lens isn't even bucket sized!
