Re: Lens suggestions for museums old houses and galleries

For stately homes with an E-M1.2, I normally take my 12-40mm f/2.8 and a 20mm f/1.7 and a 45mm f/1.8 because they all fit easily in my camera bag.  However, I almost always finish up using the 12-40mm only.  I can hand hold that pretty well in all but the very darkest rooms and I normally wait until there is nobody moving in the shot.

I use HDR when there are bright windows in the scene (although that doesn’t always work well hand held).

Personally I have never found the 20mm f/1.7 to be noisy or slow focusing for the subjects that shoot with it.
