[Leica] Nokton (25/0.95 micro-4/3) assembly and hype video

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Really depends on your priorities, doesn't it? As the GH1 and 2 are 
often bought by videographers whose reason for getting a relatively 
large sensor body is mostly for the reduced DoF possibilities, extra 
light gathering is often of significantly less importance.
