Just watch out at higher ISOs...

I had the 20mm (older version) on my PL5 and I had the notorious horrible banding issue with it at higher ISOs of 1000+. Ruined too many pictures for me so I got rid of it for the Oly 17mm and never looked back. The problem was never fixed with the newer version of the lens.

If you use this combo in decent light environments and do not shoot above 1000 ISO, it is a great set. If you like low light photography, then forget it.
