Actually I do feel that 12-32mm would get less in people's face than my 12-40mm, but it may easily be just my imagination.

Another consideration is weight. 12-40mm isn't terribly heavy, but 12-32mm would make my kit one third lighter - something I would certainly appreciate when shooting whole day.

I am going through the same quandary. I have the 12-40, and even though it's a gorgeous lens, it does get heavy by the end of the day.  And I agree that the 12-32 would be a lot less "in-your-face" than the 12-40.   At the moment, my 17mm f1.8 is my preferred lens for street shooting, but sometimes a small zoom would be convenient.

Does anyone have any experience getting the Panny 12-32 from (the mostly Asian sources on) Ebay? How can they sell them for almost half the price of local sources? Are they grey market versions? It's a lot cheaper on Ebay than on B&H.
