+1pan 20 1.7
for me its not about the brightness, but the shallow DoF and a normal view.On second thought though I have been able to get usable shots in pretty minimal light with the 17...
Good point Pellicle. DoF is important to consider as well.Hi Devon

I just love my 50mm f1.8 at 1.8 ... the 17mm @2.8 needs me to be too close and pulls in too much background
I haven't compared the 17 and the 20, but comparing (an FD) 28 to the 20 In this I find the 20mm to be a wee bit wide for my preference as a normal, so the 17mm would be a nowhere man lens for me ...
actually I think I'd like a 25mm 1.7 more than the 20mm
If we're allowed to make up options, I'll pick both. The 20mm is a better lens in a lot of ways but the 17 is a bit wider and can be had with a great finder.Need a third option in the poll... Neither...
