20/1.7 doesn't support AFF and AFC and can take a long time to focus in low light. 15/1.7 is better. And agree about 42.5/1.7 - must have.

I wanted to chime in and say that I also hadn't heard many good things about the 20mm 1,7, either.

Or, to be fair, I heard that it had a few issues, and that there were better options.

Sometimes, reading forums can lead to negative outcomes, such as the long time I put off buying the 20 because of grumbles about its focus speed.

Ah well, at least I have it now - two, in fact, as I bought one for my son to use with his E-M10. Neither of us now takes our camera bag anywhere without it, so we can't share.
