My 20mm 1.7 wasn't cheap (my impatient fault) but is a keeper as is my
7-14 panasonic, I am just waiting for the right body I am not sure if
the OM-D is right my biggest problem with the E-PL2 was battery life
(three not being enough for a days shooting) and I think the OM-D is no
better but it does solve the viewfinder problem so maybe.
The 7-14 is as sharp as its big brother but its much more prone to flair
that coupled with a body I didn't get on with too well means it didn't
get used as much as the olympus version did. The 20/1.7 is very nice as
all who have it confirm.
I haven't used PL-2 kit zooms much the smaller one with the switch to
unlock annoys me, but they do not have the feel of the panasonic versions.
My wife wants a camera for her birthday so maybe the OM-D could be the
answer and then the lenses get some use again, I still favour the fuji
for me as I think it will suit my shooting style better although that
also suffers from the battery problem though I believe switching the
viewfinder off doubles the life.
