One of the promises of the micro four thirds system is lens interchangeability between Olympus and Panasonic cameras. I was able to try this for myself recently by mounting a Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 on an Olympus E-PL1 body.
All functions seemed to work well, and the lens looked good on the camera. As for the results, I thought I'd let you decide for yourself. Click on the image below to view it full size without any image editing.

Another point is that the Olympus camera has image stabilization built in to the body... nice.
Great shot. what does the 20mm cost?
Amazing IQ! I love the PEN cameras, I use this lens with my E-P2 and its the best combination I've ever used. Who says cameras can't look good while taking nice shots!

Very nice. Have you tried any Lieca lenses?
