A better comparison would be between the M.Zuiko 17mm 1:2.8 and the Panasonic 20mm 1:1.7.<br /><br />I did review the 17mm on another site: <a href="http://www.thewsreviews.com/2010/07/olympus-mzuiko-digital-17mm-f28.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewsreviews.com/2010/07/olympus-mzuiko-digital-17mm-f28.html</a>Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-58420096594955466642011-06-05T10:09:27.332-04:002011-06-05T10:09:27.332-04:00love your comments on the E-P2. im in love with th...love your comments on the E-P2. im in love with this camera also.<br />would love to know what you think of the panny 20mm f1.7 M43 lens and how it measures up to the 50mm 43 lens you discussed in your review.<br />hope your still loving this cameraDavid Aitchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13289337383654943160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-65197420860193107032010-11-15T11:05:07.190-05:002010-11-15T11:05:07.190-05:00Thanks for your advice!

If you want to use a faster 4/3rds regular lens then I strongly recommend the 14-54mm MkII. The MkII was reworked from the MkI and introduced along with the E-30 to take advantage of the E-30's CDAF capability. I also recommend the MkII because it is an f/2.8 to f/3.5 speed lens that works as well wide open as stopped down. And the 14-54mm MkII is less than half the cost of the 12-60mm. I would only purchase the 12-60mm if you use or intend to purchase the E-30, E-3, or the E-5. Mounted on either of those three camera bodies, the 12-60mm is super-fast and accurate.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749942763035029635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-34733075455053094012010-11-10T12:31:49.221-05:002010-11-10T12:31:49.221-05:00Hey, that's a great review!

I usually use big Nikons, but found the E-P2 a marvel for street photography. I did however go with the Panasonic Lumix 14-45mm. It is a better quality build, and a sharper lens. This is the camera I will take on my travels.davidjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436351743486467643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12906299.post-63133758723049702332010-02-23T13:24:05.430-05:002010-02-23T13:24:05.430-05:00Wow.

Hopefully in the near future the price will go down a bit.hankazoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035434563820665365noreply@blogger.com
