This follows my five lens comparison at 14mm and four lens comparison at 12mm.

In my review of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 in my Guide to ALLVIEW (part of DAP at present), I’ve added a four lens 20mm Four Thirds / Micro Four Thirds comparison with the following lenses:

• Olympus SHG 14-35mm f/2 ED.
• Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 ASPH.
• Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 ASPH.
• Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM (on Canon 5D Mark III)

Just for fun and perspective, I’ve included the Canon 5D Mark III with the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM in the comparison.
