Originally posted by UncleVanya Great shot. Everyone said that lens wasn't great, I sold one and got the Panasonic 20mm f1.7, but I sometimes wish I still had that 17.
The 17/2.8 is pretty much the only m4/3 lens I've ever had for my E-P1. I bought them as a refurb set along with the OVF for that lens. The E-P1 and 17/2.8 make such a great pair that I was never really that tempted to get another lens. I too have read many a review claiming the lens isn't that good, but I never put much stock in them. Sure, if you're shooting test charts it has its flaws, but if you just get out and take photos with the 17/2.8 it's a great little lens, especially considering that nowadays it sells for around $100.
