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

Depends on how dark the areas are.  I'll use the 12-35 f/2.8 II or 15mm f/1.7.  Because I shoot 4K video, the shutter must be 1/40 or faster.  Thus, I often end up using the 15mm prime.  If it's just photos, the 12-35 f/2.8 II will work.
