Dean, you should definitely get it out!
Assuming the quality is good (I am sure it will have all sorts of  
interesting
vignetting and weird bokeh, from samples I've seen) it's a nice route
to achieving the FOV and DOF of, say, a 50mm f/1.8 on on OM camera.

Very nice indeed, as even the (otherwise great) PanaLeica 25mm/1.4
gives you not much more subject isolation than the OM 50/3.5 Macro.

I am a shallow DOF freak, and this is probably the only reason why I  
have
never owned (and will likely never own) a four thirds body, much as I  
love
many aspects about them.

I think it's really special that you own the 25/0.95, please post sample
images as soon as you have them!
