first, with some lenses, you can hear a distinct "rattlesnake" (well known) sound coming from the lens aperture. It's very noticeable on the 14 2.5 and the 25 1.4. For a mirrorless camera that is supposed to be discrete, that's a big problem, imo. The focus might be silent, the shutter might be quiet, but the aperture blades make a very, very annoying sound. People around get distracted very easily.

if I remember well, after an update of the lens (camera updater of the em5 with the 14 2.5 attached) the snake kinda went away and the lens performs much better for stills and video - sorry if I'm saying something you already know. The 20 1.7 has a different focus mechanism, no hopes there
