Re: Whats up with Panasonic 14mm and 20mm on Olympus

I don't own the 20mm f1.7. Banding at high ISO is a well documented issue with 20mm f1.7 on sony sensors (omd's and gh3). 20mm f1.7 is also not great at AF and my experience (gf3 and em-10) is that olympus AF is a little bit worse than panasonic's.

I haven't heard or had any issue with the 14mm. CA for both lenses might be a little bit higher due to a supposedly lower UV filter on olympus (sony ?) sensors. But I use a simple UV filter most of the time and treat bad CA in PP for both cameras. It might also be due to different in camera CA corrections.

I don't think the mark2 are much different: probably exactly the same for 14mm and maybe negligeable refinements on the 20mm (coatings ?). Sample variation is probably bigger thant the differences between an average Mk1 and Mk2.
