Interesting wide angle fast prime lens.
24mm full frame equivalent focal length.

... doesn't say much, but at least you know the size when "mated" to a GX85. It seems like she's been told that she needs to stress on the large aperture wide lens.

Ok, managed to get this lens for tonight's meetup. Can see the real lens paired to a black and a brown GX85...However, this lens is just a pre-production sample, so the final production set may still vary. And there's no confirm lens launch date yet...

Ouch missed this post...
Hope to see and try out this 12mm F1.4 lens during Sat's "Explore Action Photography with the Panasonic GX8"...
Also praying to get to try out the Panasonic 7-14mm F4 there as well (if available)...
Thanks...

I have to say this lens has the best starburst I've seen on m43 camp, though I've not test all, but here's a shot at F16. Reminds me of Pentax DA15, voi

There are signs of diffractions, had to post sharpen it

Here's a shot at F8, without sharpening, some PP was done. Compared to F16 shot above which I had to sharpen on post, the F8 shot without sharpening is still more detailed than F16

What about CA or purple fringing?
