Re: Does anyone still use Panasonic 20mm f/1.7?

I tried the 20, but never kept it. I just never gelled with it due to "odd" focus, and behaviour wide open... some shots looked muddy or banded wide open at f1.7 but fine at f1.8... go figure. It does look gorgeous on certain bodies though and other than my issues, rendered really nicely. I got a 14mm f2.5 as my pancake low light lens... not as sharp but it performs without any quirks... and I usually need 14mm more as a small fast lens, because that is what I usually need for social out and about pics of groups of people.
