Why isn't there more buzz about the Olympus 17mm f1.8?

4 months ago

I would think that there would be more buzz about a lens that autofocuses quickly and has build quality like the amazing Oly 12mm. Is it because it is not readily available or because people still prefer the Pany 20mm f1.7 and Panaleica 25mm f1.4 for ultimate sharpness?
