(FT5) Leica 25mm f/1.4 size (FT3) will be cheaper than we all thought?

Share

I got small bits of info about the upcoming Leica 25mm f/1.4 Micro Four Thirds lens.  The lens has the same diameter as the current 20mm f/1.7 pancake which is 63mm. And the length opf the lens is 54,5mm. On the picture on top you can see a comparison with other lenses. The new Leica is 1cm shorter than the current only Leica m43 lens, the The [shoplink 14794]Panasonic 45mm macro[/shoplink]lens. The big lens is the [shoplink 16340 ebay]Four Thirds 25mm Leica[/shoplink] which uses the 43 to m43 adapter. The camera is the old nice [shoplink 14828]Panasonic GF1[/shoplink].

There is one more info I got that need to be double checked with other sources. One source “heard” that the new Leica will be cheaper than the rumored 700-800 dollar/Euro price range. Let’s hope this is true because if the lens costs around 500-600 dollars/Euro (and the image quality is top notch) I am sure it will sell like hotcakes! Reminder, the “old” Four Thirds 25mm f/1.4 had a price tag of $1100 dollars/Euro. As you know that lens has been discontinued and you can still find some Four Thirds 25mm lenses on [shoplink 16340 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].

P.S.: Someone can send me a picture of the lens? Thanks! :)
