I recently bought a Panasonic gx7 and the Panasonic 14mm f2.5, and I also have a couple of old Olympus OM lenses (28mm f2.8 and 50mm f1.4) I'm looking to get another lens the question I have is wether I should get the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 or the Olympus 45mm f1.8. Which lens would be a better buy for me (I mostly do street photography and landscapes)

I have both plus the 14. The 20 is a bit better for the street.

The 45 has, by design, field curvature which makes it not so good for landscape but it is good for portraits. Others suggest the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.7 instead of the 45.

My suggestion if you want something in between, is the Sigma 30mm f2.8. I also have this lens and it is very nice. It will be better than your old Olympus 28 f2.8.
