Hi,
I just want to mention that the Panasonic 20mm 1.7 also fits to any Olympus Pen, giving you an additional image stabilisation which can sometimes be quite handy. My personal always-in-the-pocket-camera (or, rather, in-my-bag-camera) is a Pen E-P1 which is available quite inexpensive plus the 20mm and the optical viewfinder VF-1 which almost perfectly displays the 20mm frame even though it has originally been designed for the 17mm Olympus pancake lens. If you select the center focus point, with a little exercise, you can focus and frame quite well with the viewfinder. Or you set the AEL/AEF button to focus in manual mode, prefocus on a target of the same distance as the object you want to take a photo of and shoot virtually without any delay.
If I want to have the camera as small as possible, I simply remove the viewfinder. The Pen produces excellent JPG images aswell as raw files (.ORF) that can be converted with the free software Olympus Viewer.
Kind regards,
Johannes
