What's the general opinion on the 14-42mm MK2 (especially the recent cosmetically upgraded one) as a walk around/general purpose lens?

When I'm on my daily commute or just mooching around London, I find myself needing something tighter when I fit my 15mm PL and something more open when the 30mm Sigma is mounted.

I'm fully aware that the correct answer is "get the 12-35mm f2.8", but the Fun Budget won't stretch that far this year...

The 14-42 II is currently one of the best "normal" kit lenses, but if you need somthing wider you could try the 12-32 which I also find surprisingly good. However, if you need wider and faster, then indeed the 12-35 is about the only way to go - apart from the Oly of course.
