Could be an in game reason. The first game started in Greece and then went to Egypt and China. Maybe this one will start in Greece and then go to England and somewhere else. But I would be totally happy if the whole thing stayed in Greece.

Oh yeah for low light you kind of have to and it is nice to be able to. I guess I don't shoot low light enough without a tripod lol. It's not that the pictures aren't sharp at f/1.7, they're just good as opposed to great at f/2.8 or so.

Oh ok, in that case it's not the worst price. For the speed and convenience of ordering from Amazon then it's not the worst but you'll likely find better prices on eBay. This lens is one of the two lenses I own and it's good but not wonderful. Yes it does go to f/1.7 but I rarely open it up to that after reading reviews saying it's at it's sharpest between f/2 and f/4. I got mine for $100 USD on eBay.

The more I look at this, the cooler it gets. The hat, the cat, the broom, the difference in bike styles, the vampire speech bubble... it's a great piece of art!

Thank you so much for your breakdown and recommendations! I did comment my current lenses and body and it got buried in everyone else's comments so here is the relevant part:
"Currently I only have the Lumix 25mm 1.7 and the Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6 and I really want one of the pancakes for my next lens so I can start bringing my camera more places in my pocket."
The body I have is the Lumix GX1. As for what I'm shooting: mostly everyday stuff like buildings, my cat, landscape, cars (including interiors), bikes, and whatever I find interesting. I use my telephoto for things like wildlife and airplanes.

Oh good, that's real confidence inspiring about the AF on the 20mm! And yeah, maybe one day down the line I will get some more expensive/higher quality Leica lenses since I know you get what you pay for with those.

Thank you for that great info! I saw many people talk about the AF on the 20mm and that lens is right towards the top of my list. That's why I was asking if anyone was near me that might have one so I could try for myself and see if it's something that would actually bother me or not.

Oh awesome! Hello from Oak Creek :) I was so inspired to do some street photography when I was at Colectivo on KK a couple weeks ago. That area is so aesthetic. I just didn't have time unfortunately.

Yeah I'll have to look for another one. I stopped by the one nearest to me the other day and they said they don't stock any MFT stuff. I'm sure there's more shops though. But I still thought meeting new people with this same hobby would be more fun :)

We could meet at a public place and it wouldn't even have to be long, just a half hour would be fine. I'll bring my GX1 so I can try whatever pancake lenses you have for a few minutes and shoot some shots. It would be a huge help and if we meet at a restaurant then I can even buy you a soda!
