Autofocus Performance
Customers have a generally positive opinion about the autofocus performance of the lens, with some mentioning excellent image quality and sharpness. However, a few customers noted that they preferred the manual focus for their specific use cases. The lens's compact size, weather resistance, and fast f1.4 capability were also frequently mentioned as positives.
Highlights
Quality
Image quality was sharp and autofocus is excellent.
High quality in both the build and optics.
This lens fell in between these two focal ranges with a faster f1.
8 lenses as i wanted something which was weather proof and small in size.
Price
This lens was an excellent choice for the price i paid.
2 lenses are too large for my liking and their cost, prohibitive.
I just wish it was a little less expensive, but that’s the price we pay for quality lenses i guess
Packaging/appearance
It was an unopened boxed up lens from olympus and had no issues with the warranty signup.
Competitiveness
Ca issues are over discussed among online reviewers with beloved lenses from other brands (ahem…lxxxx) having far worse fringing.
I wish olympus/om can continue to push out more small and affordable lenses like this.

On terms of composition i believe i can replace the 17mm with the 20mm but im not that sure about replacing the 25mm since i kind of like the 25mm compression better on certain photos
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My conclusion on this matter is i can use the 20mm in about 80 of the 17mm shots and about 40 of the 25mm shots

I also want to point out that this lens is very small and light in my case i dont mind it not having a manual focus clutch since i rely on my em5 mk iii autofocus most of the time
