I also got mine at the same time. Unusually cheaper than the current prices in US.

People's heads tell them that 1.7 isn't fast but 1.4 is... I believe... which is ridiculous, but one's mind plays tricks sometimes. Honestly though, I've seen nothing but love for the 20mm panny. |

I sold my 20/1.7 and got a 25/1.4, the focusing speed improvement is significant. Don't see any difference in sharpness (I shoot mostly at f2). But the 25/1.4 does seem to have more pop to its image, could be color/contrast. While the 20/1.7 looks really sharp but a little flat. The hood on 25/1.4 is ridiculously large though, so I use a vented hood instead. Overall I like the 25/1.4 better and think the $200 price difference is justified. I am more of a 50mm person than a 35mm person so that might be why I feel this way.

Here's a few from today ... before my one and only battery ran flat :-(
Recovery time: 25mm
It's pretty dark in the free view box and the E-M5 held on to a fair bit of detail before hitting the noise floor: 12mm
View onto the field through the mesh from inside the box - spot the ball : 25mm
Some people are still using film: 25mm
Yikes ! : 25mm

Here's one taken with the PanaLeica 25/1.5 at ISO1600. I'm really apprecaiting the smooth tonality. (Shot in RAW, processed in Lightroom 4 + Silver Efex Pro 2.)

really fantastic pictures. It's a really capable small camera, too bad I can't justify investing in another system, when I can pay a bit more for a used 5D MkII which can take my Canon lenses  |

Yup, the old brand owned (once?) by Chrysler. It does look like it will take some time to get it back into a runner!
