The more I shoot with my Olympus 12mm f/2, the harder it is to go back to the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5. I'm thinking of picking up the 15mm f/1.7 instead as a fairly compact, better lens of similar focal length.

I understand where you're coming from, and I often have the 17mm on the camera because I like the output better than the 14mm. But Even the 17mm and 45mm are just slightly too big (deep) for when I'm not specifically "going out shooting," but simply want a camera with me if I see something I want to take a picture of.

My understanding is that if the 17mm makes the camera difficult to pocket, then the PL15 would be the same.
