It's an exceptionally good lens, especially considering the price/size. It's Goldilocks on the smaller bodies. I have a first genertation 20/1.7 and always thought it focused a bit slowly on my old G1 but it's a lot quicker on my G85. I do think Panasonic made a mistake when they released the nonstandard 15mm f/1.7 rather than a 17.5mm (35mm equivalent). Now they have no 35mm equivalent fast prime to sell me but their competitors do.I'm also a former Leica user. The 'Leica' branded Lumix lenses are part of the reason I am now a former user. Even the non-Leica branded lenses are good. The 20/1.7 in particular is really a Summicron by another name, imho.
