TWO good reasons to prefer Oly 17mm f/1.8

In reply to Brian Mosley, 4 months ago

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.

Faster focus plus no banding.

But scummy of Oly to not play nice with Panasonic lenses.
