I got a new lens yesterday, the Olympus 25 mm F1.8.  The above are my first pictures with it.  Based on these images I can say that I like how fast it focuses, how close it focuses, how sharp it is, and how I like the color, clarity, etc.  It will be a fine lens for flowers as long as I can get up close.  These were taken either in our yard or the neighbor’s yard.  I think most of these images are slight crops of the original but that works fine.
