Howa, what M43 lenses have you got? I've been looking at a Panasonic 20mm f1.7

Originally I had the Zuiko 14-42 kit lens (not the ez) and the Panasonic 40-150 f4-5.6 but after 3 or 4 years, i wanted a bit more and upgraded. Now I've the Panny 35-100 f2.8 (really small and light, perfect for the EM10) and the Olympus pro 12-40 f2.8. Very good close focus and at a bargain price when I picked it up.
I've also got the Panasonic 20mm pancake you are looking at, nice lens and the equally tiny panny 12-32, which is another pancake and a great walkabout lens.
Apart from the Zuiko, the others were all second hand. Worth keeping an eye on ebay, mpb and camera jungle. Also, cameracentreuk on ebay when the '20% off these sellers' promo is on. Hdew is very competitively priced too, with new often cheaper than used on ebay.
Which other lenses are you looking at? The Oly 45mm is meant to be good and is relatively cheap. Also, the Sigma 19mm,30mm and 60mm (early versions, not the newer 1.4s) seem to be well regarded

I'm just after a normal prime type lens. The Oly 17mm is too expensive as is the 25mm. I have the Olympus 14-42 mk type (not EZ) and the 20mm is in budget and a good performer. I'll check out MPB and CJ, but I've seen one on LCE.

The Panasonic 25mm f1.7 also gets a good write up and is cheaper than the Oly. Depends whether you want 20mm pancake or 25mm. (the 25mm was under £130 new on last week's 15% ebay deal)

I quite like the 20mm because its more compact.

That's why I like the 20mm and the IQ is good. Either that lens or the pancake zoom are on my EM10 most of the time. If you can get it for a decent price, go for it.

I saw a couple on ebay starting at £85 or make offer, made offers but were rejected. The other one I have been looking at is £109.99 plus post and will have six months warranty.

It's crazy to think that was only a couple of weeks ago. We had 15c and sunshine since then!
