Cotty, m43 is quite comprehensive as far as lens choice goes...
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Lens+Mount_Micro+Four+Thirds&ci=17912&N=4196380428+4099560916
yields 113 results... Among them are some fine 14mm fast lenses...
Not saying that you should buy into this system, however:
1. I would suggest to check interwebs about performance of 3rd party lenses
on m43 sensors.
2. Many of native m43 lenses give you full advantage of small weight/size...
Having said that, I'm going to remain *at least* with 2 systems: Ricoh
GXR-M for 25 and 35 Biogons and 50/1.2 and 77/1.8 via adapter and m43.
I'm still not sure whether to keep 3rd system - K-5 and FA50/1.4 for low
light...
YMMV

Cotty, 15/4.5 is ill-suited for m43 simply because it is too slow and
EFL of 30 mm is not fun. Though it will certainly look extra cool on
that RF like Pen-F camera...
Interesting. I always enjoyed the 28mm lens on my MXen from years ago -
I found it to be a great all -purpose length. The speed is an issue, but
I tended to use the 15/4.5 mostly outdoors and stopped down. Even though
very sharp, not seeing the corners is a bonus IMO. It may well be that I
end up selling it to fund other voigtlander lenses. Time will tell.
And as it was said before, your viewfinder being electronic will
double as rear screen, so you would have to do some menu delving to
make it certain that you *really* don't chimp :-).
This is one of the reasons I like the front knob for colour / mono
switching, and so many preset custom settings - a simple flick of the
top dial to go between preset choices. I can see right away that some of
those will be ISO settings.
Fun times ahead!
