Re: Olympus 25mm f/1.8 or Sigma 30mm f/2.8?

I am not sure that the 20/1.7 focuses in less than a second. The entire lens casing has to move to focus the lens. With my E-P1 I often put the lens in hyperfocal mode at f/8 to take snap shots.

Bryan, thanks for posting. Sweet girl! I know how you feel; half of my shots are of my seven year old daughter. Well that's true what you say about indoor photography--something to be considered.

Thanks to everyone so far. At this point I suppose I am still leaning toward the Sigma, but the test results showing that it is only marginally faster than the 20/1.7 has me a little confused. No point in buying it in that case.
