No experience with this but won't using something equivalent to 300mm @ min f/5.6 be unstable (even with stabilization) if hand held and using viewfinder for framing?  hmm.gif

*
it'll be written on the lens.

m43 will have extra word "micro" there.

so what type of photography is the 20mm pancake good for? other than the pancake is compact...
*
The reason why people buy M43 is because its compare. If you put a big lens, then it defeat the purpose
of M43. Conclusion, 20mm pancake is good for M43 type of photography.

Does Panasonic Mega O.I.S micro43 lens provide extra stabilized image on Olympus EPL2's sensor shift?
*
No. You have to turn off Mega OIS or Sensor Shift. Only 1 can use.
