I used the original 27mm and liked it well enough. I also used the 20 f/1.7 on m43 as well and preferred it too. I think the reason we may have connected with the m43 40mm FOV vs. the Fuji 40mm FOV comes down to the 4:3 vs 3:2 aspect ratio. The 4:3 is closer to square and it feels natural at 40mm; whereas as the 40mm at 3:2 feels a bit cramped as that aspect ratio is wider horizontally. Just a guess on this one.

Interesting.  I have both the Panny 20mmf1.7 and the Fuji 27mmf2.8.

I too like the Panny 20mm a lot but am having trouble getting on with the Fuji 27mm.

Go figure !.
