  Use Google Translate for the sort of amusement that will recall 
unpacking a Sansui receiver in 1975 and reading the instructions.

Anyway, the images do look smooth and pleasing, but do notice how close 
the focus is in most cases.  That's to create a shallow DOF that would 
not be as apparent with more normal focusing distances.  While the f0.95 
number is alluring, on the 4/3 sensor size, the 25/0.95 wide open has 
the DOF of a 50mm Summicron on an M3, or a 80mm 2.8 Planar on a Rolleiflex.
