In the second version, Panasonic did nothing to improve AF.

Since there are now alternatives to the 1.7/20mm, which are equal or better in IQ (1.8/25mm, 1.4/25mm) and which have a fast AF, there isn't any point left to buy this lens, especially since the O 1.8/25mm is also pretty small and light.

I'm still planning on getting one. I have the 25mm f1.4 atm but often find the focal range a bit short and don't want the larger or slower 35mm offerings due to their size or speed.
