DxOMark have just tested<\/a> the Panasonic Leica-DG 25mm f\/1.4 lens<\/a> for Micro Four Thirds<\/a> and it does well against the Canon and Nikon 50mm f\/1.4 lenses, even though this Micro Four Thirds version is not as sharp as the incredibly sharp Four Thirds version (the Panasonic Leica D 25mm f\/1.4 lens<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Of course the depth of field wide open will only be similar to that at f\/2.8 on these full frame lenses but otherwise performance is not too different, as they have similar light gathering and the local blurring of an f\/1.4 lens, indeed the increased DOF wide open can be used to advantage for environmental portraits in low light.<\/p>\n
