We just got in the new Leica 25mm DG Summilux f/1.4 ASPH for micro 4/3rds cameras!  Compared to its regular 4/3rds bigger brother, the new lens is much more compact and also much lighter.  It also doesn't require an annoying adapter to use, which helps cut down on bulk significantly.   Although the Leica 25mm is a small lens, it is certainly not a pancake lens by any standard and is significantly longer (physically, not in focal length) than the similar Panasonic 20mm f/1.7.  It doesn't have a particularly wide girth and has a 46mm thread size. The lens comes with a large boxy lens shade that can't be reversed and is just about as long as the lens.  I have included some pictures below (click "MORE" to keep reading) and will be posting some quick image samples later today (taken with a GH2).  Stay tuned! -MZ
