Good to mention that one.  B&H doesn't list shipping until 5/15.  MTF seems 
similar to the Oly 45/1.8.  MTF in link below but are not apples to apples  
unfortunately.  Both weigh within 15gm of each other
though the Panny is 10 elements in 8 groups with one aspheric and the Oly 9 
elements in 8 groups.  The Panny lists for a tad higher. Both have 37mm filter 
size.   May have to wait for reviews to know how they compare but probably 
neither are a mistake. Would like perhaps a half to one stop faster for dof 
control. Have seen only a handful of example images for the Panny.  

 Have not used the Oly 25/1.8 as much as I had predicted due to no OIS and not 
quite fast enough to blur many backgrounds.
