Right on, Mark! I just got the 25mm f2.8 (50mm equiv) prime from  
Olympus. This on my "old" E-510 makes for a very compact and capable  
carry-around for someone who grew up shooting a 50mm f3.5 Elmar,,,,

More primes, please, Oly! And kudos to Pentax for their nice selection  
of well made primes.
