Trust me if i could afford the 15mm I would get it. But I would feel a bit silly having a lens costing twice as much as my little EPL6. lol

It's not silly considering, you can still use a great lens on a beat-up E-PL1 and get great photos. Keeping the lenses and cycling through the bodies is a sound strategy, always buying a generation or two old.

Anyhow I think the 20mm appears to focus more slowly than others because you can hear the motor, whereas the other lenses are virtually silent. I think it exaggerates the slowness feel.
