The new Fuji 15-45 is a great choice for those who don't want to spend double on the 14.
It is very sharp at 15 and can get real close. See DPreview samples for the A5 where a closeup of a cup shows great bokeh.
The OIS makes the 3.5 shoot as steady as an F2 with at least 2 stops of comp.
I happen to have an old ,75 Panny wide converter made for my old LX5 and with its 52mm thread screws right into the Fuji 15 and giving me 11-33,
I put up sample shots with this converter on DPreview.
The 15-45 is also much lighter than the 14 which is a plus for constant belt pack carry along.

That's tempting. How about coma (IE, for astro)?
