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

To the OP:  The Panasonic 20 f1.7 is one of the great lenses of all time, despite complaints about slow AF in low light.  I suspect Leica had a hand in designing it, since picture appearance and quality is right up there with 35 and 50 Summicrons.  I do not have the Oly 25 but the recently advertised $99 25 f1.8 is not even close to the 20.
