It seems to me that the Oly-D 17/2.8 is really faster in AFS mode on a G1 than the 20/1.7 from Pana. :shocked:

Brian, you find the MFT cameras to have noticeable shutter lag? I have a Canon S90 sitting right next to my GH1 and G1. Can't recall the last time I was bothered by shutter lag with any of them!Does it really matter? they're both pretty slow really... I find shutter lag and shot-to-shot blackout more troublesome.
Luminous Landscape mentioned shutter lag on the Canon S90 being virtually nil... why can't Olympus/Panasonic do better I wonder?
Cheers

they can ... disable focus priority or use manual focus. The thing you call shutter lag is the camera trying to assist you to not have out of focus images. Back when we all only had manual focus cameras we could all take blurry pictures in an instant :ROTFL:Does it really matter? they're both pretty slow really...

That is possible as the Panny lens is not internal focus and it doesn't have a very light focusing element (unlike their other m4/3 lenses - per various lens reviews). So, in this case there is a lot more glass to move for the 1.7 vs. 2.8 lens.It seems to me that the Oly-D 17/2.8 is really faster in AFS mode on a G1 than the 20/1.7 from Pana. :shocked:
I JUST got the 20mm, so I don't have a lot of experience. My initial impression is that it focuses quicker than the 17mm. OTOH, I also have the impression that the 17mm focuses WORSE since I upgraded all of my firmware recently (it hunts a lot more, especially in lower light). These are impressions only, of course. No test data.It seems to me that the Oly-D 17/2.8 is really faster in AFS mode on a G1 than the 20/1.7 from Pana. :shocked:
I wonder if this is related to the ability to use:I know. It is a lot easier for most manufacturers to keep churning out zooms.
Given the idea of small size and compactness of the m4/3rds (besides other advantages), prime lenses are very essential.
