Cash back on 45 f1.8 & 17 f1.8

[Forsei]

Finally after years haha. I got the 45 today at SLR. Got a quote, went during lunch but no stock! Crap. Then the guy went off and came back with one (probably to their sister shop? )
So, it was like heng. Tested the lens on an em10. BIG MISTAKE!
Now I'm in love with both! Haha

Anyone holding out on the 17/1.8 as the pana 15/1.7 is about to be released soon.

I've got a pana 20/1.7 buy felt the AF on the EM5 is a little slow so wondering whether to go for the oly 17 now or wait out for the pana 15.

Is it cause of the likely better IQ?
Heard it's going to be around SGD700?

It's because of the faster af and build.
If my memory serves me well Oly 17 /F1.8 was launched at $620 without the $88 hood. The Leica 15 /F1.7 will come with a hood included. I estimate the price to be 7xx

How much is the grip here? Does Panasonic not sell the GM1 dual lens kit with included grip here?

The Oly one disappointed me, it's not as sharp as it should be. The Pana's DxO review showed already it's sharper; and it will focus faster on my Pana bodies.

Yeah, that would be important. I hate to remove the grip for swapping the battery. I have the issue with my Nikon V1 and had it previously with my EM5, too.
