Did you regret selling your 20mm 1.7?
Did you regret selling your 20mm 1.7?

I grew tired of my Panny 20mm AF sluggishness, even though it's better on the GX7 than on the EM-5. Besides, I had some old equipment to sell: a GF1, a 19mm 2.8, two SLR MAgic manual lenses...
So I told myself: why not sell this all on eBay and buy a new general purpose lens with proper AF for street photography or to be fitted on my second camera when on a job (beside the sweet E-M5 + 12-40 workhorse combo). Thinking about the Oly 17mm or the PanaLeica 15mm...
So the lens is on ebay, being watched by quite a few people... but in the meatime I started to sort pictures for my online portfolio and...
...and realized that many of my best pictures were taken with this lens and that, even if the AF is sluggish, the picture quality is great, there's a nice background blur AND still a wide enough field of view to which I've become quite accustomed...
So I think maybe I'm making a mistake and may eventually withdraw my auction, because there is no lens that actually.
This question is mostly for those of you who have sold their 20mm after years of usage: did you regret selling it? What did yo replace it with and how did that go? What did you miss?
