Street Photography: Olympus 17mm F1.8 or Panasonic 25mm F1.4 ?

It's great for street, compact, inexpensive (look on ebay for a black one if you have a black body) and fast focusing, the 20 /1.7 is a great lens if you are shooting still subjects, absolutely worthless unless you zone focus for street (not practical).  I have a Oly 12 f/2 and an optical viewfinder I first used on my GF1, and now use on my EM-5 and GX-1 for street, and its great as well, focuses very fast.  I may get the Oly 17 /1.8 as I have the Oly 45, and 75 as well as the 12 and really like that series of lenses.  The Pano 12-35 is also a nice street lens, not much larger then a 14-42 kit lens, and focuses fast as well.  The lowely Panosonic kit lens is also quite good for street if you are on a budget, not the fastest lens, but not bad performance under daylight.
