The Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake lens is my everyday lens, and I also have the Olympus 45mm f1.8 that they recommend as a portrait lens. I’m actually quite happy with the nice small body, the two fast lenses and little to no complications or fuss.

I’m a big fan of good interviewers, so I was thrilled when Richard Banfield (CEO of Fresh Tilled Soil) asked me to sit down with him for his series on digital design leadership.
