Thanks. At that price it's worth giving it a try.

Got it. My only stabilized lens. I'm definitely liking the focus speed.

Yeah, got mine too but I don't have a body to try it on .. lol. I sold my m4/3 kit (GF1, 20mm, 45-200) to buy my fishing kayak at the beginning of summer and now I'm going to slowly rebuild it. Next on my list is the Pany G3.

Panasonic is coming out with a bunch of smaller/lighter lenses to replace it's kit lens and telephoto but even so I couldn't resist at $200 - even if it gets replaced later on.

I've got the Panny 40-200 now, the Oly 14-42, and the Oly 17mm F2.8 pancake. That makes for a great travel set, that fits in a very small camera bag, so I'm happy to stick with what I have. If I want to go wider then I have the 4/3 9-18, with an adaptor.
