Did you pay the full $399 price for it?

Should I swap my Pana 20mm for this one ?

Two very different focal lengths .... The pana 20mm relates more to the Leica 25mm than to the oly 45

Just my opinion....

Yes paid about E300 for it, about as much i think as for the 20mm.
Gonna hold my final verdict until i shot a lot more with it, but at this point i think the 20+45 combo is about the best (AF) we can get. Sharpness looks comparable, which says a lot. The FL is different enough that i wouldn't trade one for the other!! Both lengths have their use on the street i guess..
(havent handled the 12 or 25 yet though..)

I find a 45mm a good street lens for cadids that you have a few more seconds to take.
