Far from it, "I personally like the extra width of the Panny, but I can also
say that I shoot more with the Oly since
acquiring it." That's where the rubber meets the road.
He hasn't updated this list for a long time. His opinion of the 20/1.7 differs
from pretty much everyone else I've read.
I pretty much only use mine in the dark, where I won't see any difference. :-)
Wrong choice for 9-18 hood. The Oly specifies the LH-55B hood, same as for the
12-50. I have a third party copy which
works well and allows lens cap on and off easily.

Yup. The 12-50 is almost always on a body, so the 9-18 sees sparing use.
Daytime, it's on top of the 20/1.7 in my small
bag, night, the reverse.

I have the 18/3.5, but must admit I didn't really start to learn how to use
super wides until I could practice for free
on digital.
