[Leica] 25mm f/1.4 "normal" 4/3's lens hits

[leica at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

The disappointing thing is that a Digilux-3 with that Summicron is even 
fatter and more expensive as a fullframe Canon 5D with 50/1.4. I believed 
the 4/3 system (with a sensor in quarter-frame size) would lead to more 
compact bodies and lenses, which might excuse it's flaws like exceedingly 
high ISO noise and AF slowness.
