Great post, good question, I never seem to have the right lens for these situations, I have often considered the 20 1.7 but have been put off by reports of noisy and slow autofocus. Will be interesting to read responses, thanks for posting.

You can hear the worm drive AF mech operate in very quite conditions. The AF performance is fine, it’s just an old design which doesn’t zip between extremes of focus instantly like newer lenses do.

Never had mine fail to find focus reliably on either my GM5 or my G7.

Because of the AF design, the 20mm F1.7 doesn’t support continuous AF (AFC in Panasonic Speak).
