    Overview

    While this isn't my favorite lens (that would be the Olympus 45mm/1.8), this is currently a very close second. This is an excellent lens, especially for low light. The only reason why this isn't my favorite lens is that for my particular uses, the 45mm is a more useful focal length. For most people, however, the 25mm is probably a way better focal length. I don't believe you can get a faster lens than this one at such a low price.

    The Good Parts

    * Inexpensive at just over $200
    * Good all around focal length for most people
    * Sharp and good color
    * Metal mount
    * Fast F1.7 aperture means you can use a lower ISO in low light
    * Good AF speeds (your mileage will vary, depending on the camera you are using)
    * Comes with lens hood
    * Lightweight
    * Good bokeh
    * Well made

    Could Be Better

    * A little chunky (volume-wise, it's bigger than my 45mm)
