Re: 20/1.7 might prove more versatile

What do you dislike about the Sigma?

To be honest, I'm not sure. I probably bought the wrong lens when I was buying it (it was my first native MFT lens, I was only using adapted legacy glass before it) and I never warmed up to it. I tried to use it for time-lapses, but it would gradually go out of focus as a result of vibrations from slapping shutter (at least that's my best guess). I tried to use it for astrophotography, but it was too slow for that and I never got the results I was expecting. And as I tried it for different scenarios, I found that I'm not into it. And then I dropped it, and it seems fine, but I'm not really sure.

So I guess it's probably a victim of being a first lens of a noob that doesn't know what he's doing for the most part
