Value for money

This lens currently retails for around £380, which seems a touch expensive for a pancake lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. For example, Olympus do a 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras that costs around £200 and Sony offer a 20mm f/2.8 pancake lens for their NEX series cameras for around £300.
