Well, this is a little difficult for me because I prefer the 35mm equivalent
focal length the Olympus 17/2.8 offers. In my own testing of the lens, I
found it to be very comfortable, but the barrel distortion is a little too
over the top for me. There is substantial CA (chromatic aberration) too. But
the bokeh characteristics are very nice.
The presence of the Panasonic lens has lowered the desirability of the
Zuiko. It's not a bad lens, just not as good of a lens. If you have the
money for the Panasonic, get it.
