Actually both of them compliments each other very well. Always have both of them when I'm out.

I dun shoot wide angle so for me its only the PL25mm..

Both are different, so get both, but get the one you use more first.

Bro I assume 12mm f2 at $980 is good price? I was quoted that price in one of the shop, may go get it if that is right.

You only mentioned 12 or 25, so I presume u have a budget.

I would say go for 25, because your 12mm is well covered by the 12-50. Generally speaking, you do not need that 1 and 2/3 stop for wide angle unless you really need to freeze motion.

The 25/1.4 will be more useful as the 25mm on the 12-50 is having an aperture of F3.x.or F4.0+/- and you will gain like 3 stops for street shots. It is also cheaper at $800 new compared to $1000++ for the 12/2.0. Resale value holds as it is more in demand and out of stock recently.

The Achilles heel of the panny 20mm is the relatively slow AF motor. Can't match and make full use of the AF speed of the new generation m4/3 bodies.

is the 17mm f2.8 faster than the 20mm?

At least on the 1st generation of m43 bodies the 17mm was slower (AF) than the 20mm.
