Re: Olympus 25mm 1.8 or Panasonic 20mm 1.7?

All I can tell you is that the 20 1.7 is very sharp and that it has good contrast.  It seems to have difficulty focusing with some of the Olympus bodies, but I use Panasonic bodies so it has been fine for me.  In fact, I own two 20 1.7 lenses.  I guess that means that I like the 20.  The 25 1.8 Olympus is probably a fine lens.  Your choice is between the Full Frame focal length of 40 or 50.
