Lack of up to date pancakes in M43?

Don't discount the 20mm 1.7 yet...

Give the 20mm f1.7 a try. It's the slowest of a very fast bunch, it works for me and could work for you too. Not sure how it compares to the slower focussing Fuji primes, but reminds me of some Sigma DSLR primes for speed.

My I've-got-literally-no-space-left kit are the 12-32, 35-100 (the small slow one), 15mm 1.7, 20mm 1.7, 45mm 1.8, and 45-175mm. Although only 2 are really pancakes, these lenses sail past security at gigs, take up the same combined luggage space as a single shoe, and each fit into coat pockets easily.

Completely agree we could do with some updated pancake lenses though.
