Best 25mm Lens for MFT

It's just great. It resists glare well, and the images have a character that can only be achieved with a collaborative Leica design. My 25mm 1.7 was/is great, but very helpless against this lens. Sure, this lens is very sharp from corner to corner, but you can't see that unless you zoom in to 200%. At any normal size you would display or print, you won't even notice. I'm actually a bit tired of the obsession with corner-to-corner sharpness that you just don't notice at normal viewing size. This is a great lens, the colors and contrast (which is important to me) are great and they bring these images to life in a way that my 12-35 and 25mm 1.7 zoom don't. Both lenses are great, but they just don't have the character that this lens has. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because this version (V1) isn't weatherproof, which is frustrating.
