These ones here were all on the Lumix 20mm f1.7. This prime lens remains fixed on my E-PL2 pretty much all the time, though now that I\u2019ve used this lens for about 9 months now, I get much better results when in average lighting and better. I wonder if the pictures have hit the limit of what the relatively small sensors in the micro four-thirds standards can muster when in low light (the soon to be released Olympus OMD EM-5 supposedly improves on this though).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been keeping an eye on the Sony NEX 7, the Fujifilm X100 and X-Pro 1, but I\u2019ve got issues with all three of them of one or another; horrendous pricing (X-Pro 1), not the focal length I most shoot at (X100), and lack of affordable fast primes (NEX 7). The funniest thing though is that Ling has already given me the \u2018blessing\u2019 to get the X100 after I took <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/2012\/02\/02\/fujifilm-x100\/\">some lovely pictures of Hannah<\/a> a few months ago using a loaned unit from my student.
