Sounds like you bought a D3 or K20D. Good on ya. I still use ISO 400 and get the results I need to get. I already have a Summilux-D 25mm f/ 1.4 ASPH for ultra low light with the Panny and Oly bodies. I do a lot of available light shooting with the Nikkor 20/3.5 at present too. If I need a faster lens, I use one. I've been waiting for something compact and light. f/2.8 and 95g is just fine.
I don't know what all the bs about "an update from the Pen series" is supposed to mean. Sorta like saying "huh, couldn't do something more original, eh?" Nonsense words. Why is it necessary to try and point to some older lens that it is a development of? Surely, nearly all modern lens formulae are derivatives of designs listed in Kingslake that were penned by Zeiss engineers a hundred and more years ago .. The optical formula might be similar in some respects, but there weren't any Pen series lenses with aspheric elements that I recall. Electrically and mechanically the mount is completely different.
