Re: Prime lens recommendations?

Many people here really like the 14mm lens, but I never warmed to it, though it does have the advantage of being incredibly tiny. I replaced it with the 15mm and like that lens a lot better, though it is more expensive. The Oly 17.5 f/1.8 is another option for a "street" lens.

For portraits, you might consider the 42.5, 45, or the Sigma 60 (excellent and inexpensive, but a bit slower at f/2.8).

Your choices as to the above might influence which lens, if any, you want to get in the middle. The Oly 25 is another option.

I have a G7 on pre-order. I see that B&H now lists expected availability as July 2 (I think it was once June 15, and it still is on Amazon).
