Nice work! I'm enjoying the same camera/lens combination.

Thanks Steve, this a great combo. I stopped using the Pany 20 1.7, lots of missed shots due to slow AF.

I have the same combo and I am really liking my 25/1.8, but kept my 20/1.7 for general walk around and landscape.

I really like your full body portraits; they are nice portraits, posed but not contrived and nicely exposed.

I had exactly the same experience. Love the optics on the 20/1.7 but the AF is notoriously slow. The Oly 25/1.8, in contrast, is blazing fast on the E-P5. Interestingly, so is the Pany 14/2.5.

Here's one from earlier today, E-P5 and 25/1.8, at f.2.8:

Thanks, I was hoping the new 20 1.7 has a better AF action but seems like the review in the net say otherwise. I might go for the 17 1.8 Oly later as 35 is my go to lens.

Incidentally I also have the Pany 14 2.5 and it does wors well with the EP5.
