Hi Bill, thanks for sharing some of your first shots - the 14-45 I have is actually very good for a kit lens, but I have the feeling that the sensor is not being outresolved by the glass.
In fact, there's a funny thread on dpreview where someone is outraged by the amount of in-camera correction being applied for the kit lens... personally I think it's an appropriate engineering solution.
I ordered my 4/3rds adapter directly from Japan yesterday (after being told by Panasonic UK that they wouldn't be supplying the UK market until December at the earliest) - and it's already been shipped... I can't wait for it to arrive!
My recommendation would be to look at the ZD 9-18 and the ZD 50mm f2 while you're waiting for your M adapter.
I'll be testing both, along with a whole range of 4/3rds and legacy lenses as soon as my adapter arrives - the results will all go into our
report diary.
Kind Regards
Brian
