From the editor
Differs from the 25/1.8 in the following:
- more than 2 times heavier and 2 times longer;
- has a more complex optical formula with better aberration correction;
- with the same closest focusing distance (CFD) of 0.25m as the 25/1.8, the 25/2 has a more practical focusing distance scale, allowing you to easily select any distance from the CFD to medium distances up to 4.5m;
- 8 aperture blades instead of 9 (doesn't make much difference);
- accepts 55mm filters instead of 49mm;
- a dedicated petal-shaped lens hood is available as an accessory (and believe me, you will need it).
If you want better image quality and nicer bokeh, the 25/2 is your choice. If you want portability and often take close-up shots while out and about, the 25/1.8 is your choice.
