Can't go wrong with either

They're both very sharp

The Oly AF is slightly better (faster) than the Panny

The Panny is slightly wider thus is not as 'normal, and is a tad flatter (but larger in diameter)

Take your pick

I have both and have sold off the Panny since I use these for street photography and the Panny is just too slow of AF

Cheers,

I use the 35mm and 40mm lens a lot on my Nikon. which is closer to the 25mm on m4/3. I'm starting to wonder if it would benefit me more to save up a bit more and get the 17mm 1.8.
