Nathan,

Looks like a fine image under difficult lighting conditions.  I had not 
considered your "RAW" problem.  When I bought my E-510 a few months ago, I 
just transferred the RAW and JPEG images to my computer hard drive and 
opened them in Elements 6.0.  I have never loaded any of the Olympus 
software on my computer.  My only problem is that the RAW files will not 
show up as thumbnails, so I keep the jpeg files to serve as a visual index, 
until I am finished with my editing.
I think you will enjoy the Pancake.  I'm torn between that lens or the Sigma 
30/1.4 as my next addition.
