I visit a lot of old country houses, museums etc and never feel I have the right lens. If has to be fast, no flash allowed.

I tend to use the Lumix 20mm 1.7, just wondering what others use.

My cameras are Olympus e-p5 mostly with a viewfinder and Olympus M10 mark 1.

Thanks

I was just at the Frederic Church House, Olana, yesterday and used the Olympus 17mm f/1.8.  It was pretty dark in there and the lens worked well.  I've also used it to photograph many other homes for calendars with great results.

Here's a shot from a very dark dining room, handheld with the M1 MKII.
