Thanks to a great group and the many helpful comments, I finally decided on the Olympus 14-150 lens. I decided that the $150 savings over the Panny was just too much to overlook. One could say that the savings paid for my new Panny 25mm f1.7 lens and filter.

I have of course been trying the Oly out and am really pleased with the range - kind of blows you away at first to have such a zoom range available. Even in my 35mm days, I never had access to anything close to a 300mm equivalent lens - sweet.

I've not had good enough weather and light to make a 'real test' of image quality, but my initial pixel peeping has not been disappointing.

Thanks again for all the helpful comments (and some images too).

Hope it works out well for you. Getting the fast 25mm to go with it is good. I have the O 25mm and use it when the 14-150mm is too slow. Using both in India right now.
