Thanks for the review.

Can you check the high ISO banding issue with the 20mm?

A quick check would be to take a picture at dim light with ISO 6400 and to brighten by 1-2 stops in post processing. You can see it also with lower ISOs if you brighten enough. For example, this was taken with ISO 800 and then pushed 4 stops in LR (everything else set to default):

Banding with E-PM2 + 20mm

The problem is reported here:

All Oly's 16MP cameras except for the E-M1 showed this problem.
