 Great Alternative to the Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm Kit f/1.7 August 11, 2010

I got this lens for my GF1 and it is simple as plug n play, the lens is very well build and very compact. I use it on my GF1 all the time, unfortunately there is no zoom but this is the same as the Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm Kit f/1.7, at 1/2 of the price of the panasonic pancake lens this is a great alternative buy and you won't miss much.
 Great little Lens for Olympus EP-1 June 17, 2010

I bought this lens for travel - seems to have better picture quality than the standard kit zoom lens.
I like it a lot.
 Very compact, but so-so image quality May 21, 2010

Simply said: buy the Panasonic 20mm.
I found myself frustrated with the so-so image quality as others reported. While it's a very compact package, I think it's really worth spending some extra for the Panasonic 20mm lens which became the lens I use 95% of the time with my E-P1. You get much better sharpness, even at wide open at 1.7. The image quality from this lens is no better than the Panasonic lens wide open.
Wonderful lens April 23, 2010

A wonderfully compact, clear and easy to use lens without distortion so often found in this size lens.
Underrated, tiny lens April 19, 2010

The M. Zuiko 17/2.8 has a bit of a bad rap because people often compare it to the outstanding Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens. However, 17mm is very different from 20mm, and if you want that "standard wide" angle of view (similar to a 35mm lens on a 35mm frame camera) in a tiny lens, this is the one. Fortunately, it is plenty sharp, and the distortion and color fringing are easily addressed (automatically for Olympus in-camera JPEG shooters as well as by some 3rd party RAW converters). Although I use my Pana 20/1.7 more often, I enjoy using the tiny M. Zuiko 17 when I want that angle of view. It's a good little performer. You can see some samples taken with this lens here: [...].
