My advice from experience:

A PM2 with the 20mm or a GM1 with it's kit lens (12-32).

The 12-32 is better at 20mm then the 20mm (sharper across the frame except maybe the extreme corners, but they are fine too). Only get the 20mm if you need f1.7 and the 20mm is at it's sharpest from f4 to f8.

The GM1 is a little cleaner in the shadows then the PM2.

You can get a first generation pen too if you only shoot daylight (or flash) and never try to push he shadows or safe highlights. If the light is right those are brilliant cams too, but much less latitude.

Cheers

Vincent
