I would save for the 17mm f1.8 instead.

I'm really surprised that Panasonic haven't redesigned the focusing mechanism on this (optically outstanding) lens. It's the only serious negative I have for it.

If the focusing mechanism is also responsible for the banding (which I've seen at ISO 3200 on firmware Rev 1.5) then again, a redesign could be the best solution.

I will keep mine, and keep using it on my E-M5 but I will definitely buy the Olympus mZD 17mm f1.8 next, and look very closely at how the image quality compares.

Good luck with your choice

Brian
