Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 Long Term Review - My FAVORITE Micro Four Thirds Prime Lens?

Today I want to share my long term review after using the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f/1.7 II for almost 8 years. This lens is now simply becoming my favorite Micro Four Thirds prime lens especially for my everyday photography challenge. The 20mm f1.7 has been a Micro Four Thirds classic lens and it is really the embodiment of the true Micro Four Thirds philosophy: small, lightweight, sharp, and affordable. I shared my thoughts, experience of using this lens, as well as some sample pictures. I also discussed some potential flaws, and alternative lenses you should check out as well.
