In performance terms, this means that the lens lets in twice as much light as an already dead-fast &fnof;1.4 lens, letting you crank down your camera's ISO settings to capture a cleaner picture. In photographic terms, this means that you'll only be able to focus on a <em>paper<\/em>-thin plane, giving your photos&mdash;assuming you're focusing on something close by&mdash;an extreme depth of field effect.<\/p><p>The lens ships in April for $750, but given the extraordinary aperture size, reasonably high price and relatively unknown manufacturer, and full manual operation&mdash;that's right, no auto focus&mdash;it's probably best for you Micro Four Thirdsers to wait until this thing proves its prowess.
