The 20mm is the slowest focusing of the M43 primes, just like the 78's were the slowest of the  Corvette C3's.  Doesn't mean it's an unwanted turtle. The 20mm will hunt in the dark unless you use touch focus to pick a high contrast point, where it will say "yes boss" and be there.

If you underexpose, getting a muddy murky mess, and try to save it in post process, by god you might get some banding along with the noise.

Still, it's the sharpest lens I own. And I will pick it over my Olympus 17mm at night,
