75/1.8=DOF Monster!

If you ask me, I want few things in such lens.
F1.4, manual focus ring option, and OIS.
Otherwise, Samyang will do fine, it just don't have AF.

Prolly the best looking MTF chart I've seen. Sharp and low CA. I'm not getting it though.

75mm with a OIS is a little odd!shaky stuff... And if they go from 1.8 to 1.4 maybe an extra 300 euro in the price will be added?

This blur unit diagram, from SLR Gear, which is solid purple, is cause for serious LBA. http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1521/cat/14 Stunning at all apertures, but optically perfect at F5.6. F4 probably indistinguishable to the eye from F5.6, and F2.8 amazing.

Looks damn good.

Looks damn good

As usual. With all latest Olympus prime lenses :-)

Could be really good line: 12mm, new 14mm F1.8, new 17mm F1.8, new 25mm F1.8, 45mm F1.8, 75mm F1.8, and 150 F1.8 :-)

Hoping the price will come down for this lens--although with those specs I can see it going for a premium for at least a few months.

That's a lot of primes from Olympus.

@DrDave

Comparing to FF lenses it is good to remember that most 85mm are designed as portrait oriented. Like Samyang. Normally they are not sharpest lenses in the world. 75mm by Olympus is desides as sharp tele lens, so it must be compared to same.
