That's one reason why many years ago I bit the bullet and got the Canon 10-22 instead. It's not very heavy for what it is and focuses so nicely, optically no complaints at all.

Don't forget Sigma later came out with the very good 8 to (12 or 16mm?) lens.

But when you add up the various lenses, my bag is too darn much to lug around (plus it looks silly in some situations). So finally yesterday I bought a refurb Panny GF7 with kit lens off ebay for $300, will get it in a week or so. A guy/store in Canada sells them on ebay almost constantly.

Could you give me a link to the dealer's page?

Lately, they do not always have a GF7 listed...they used to have 2 or 3 colors listed at the same time.   This seller has sold a handful of them, but sometimes they got bid up by $40, so not worth buying versus a new one for $330 on ebay.

Lately, sometimes nobody bids on them, but I kept missing the end of the auctions (didn't really have my heart set on buying one). Yesterday the stars aligned - I watched the auction and decided to go for it.
