A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

M43 shooter - the Olympus 20mm f1.4.
Weather sealed, great focal length, balances well on my medium sized bodies, and got so much crap because of purple fringing on early reviews that I was able to buy it cheaper new than used. Folks are starting to catch on and it's becoming more popular. Such a nice and compact travel lens.
I tried it and flipped it. I love the 20mm 1.7 and the PL 25mm 1.4.
I found no compelling reason to use the 20mm 1.4 from Olympus when the Panasonic is smaller, and, if I want 1.4, I can use the 25 to even greater effect and it's the same size.
I do think the rest of Olympus's pro line is unbeatable though.
I have the 12-40 2.8 parked on my E-M1.3, but I have the 20mm 1.7 as my every day lens for my smaller micro four thirds cameras, and have for about 15 years now.
Had an olympus EM1 M11 for a long time. Beside the supreme 12-45f4 pro, the PL 25 1.4 ii was my standard-lens and shot 75% of my photos. Fantastic lens!
