Oh, I know exactly what I'd buy if I got one. The standard Leica lens with image stabilization is pretty darn good, and I'd get the Olympus 11-22 as well. That's it ... all my most used FoV options in two lenses, both of which are darn good performers. Yes, buying the Panasonic instead of the Leica would pay for the second lens, and then some! I don't think there are any real differences other than finish and warranty. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
