Does anyone have recommendations on a 25mm lens for the OM-D range? I was initially thinking of Pany/Leica f/1.4, but reading reviews by people who bought both that and the Olympus f/1.8, most ended up selling the Pany and keeping the Olympus.

How does the Pany f/1.7 compare with the Olympus f/1.8, apart from being a good 
deal cheaper?

Panny lenses on Oly bodies can exhibit a purple fringing that is NOT CA, but a result of different internal UV filters. <http://alanwatsonforster.org/writing/mft-purple.html>

This may even be part of the reason for the PLeica f1.4 vs Oly f1.8 choices mentioned above. It's very easy to misidentify the fringing as CA.

If you plan to stay with Oly bodies*, the Oly lens is probably the better 
choice.
