I'm sure when he gets up -- roughly midnight to 1 am EDT -- he'll pipe on the benefits/drawbacks of the lens. If money is an object I would strongly recommend their 14-45 micro four thirds zoom; it's one of the two or three best zooms I've ever used, wide open, long end, short end. It's not fast, but your 40/2 Summicron is when that's essential. I'd say since I use this camera all the time that something in the 35mm range (your Cummicron-C would count I think...) is a better prime lens for it on a day by day basis than the 20 would be. So if I was you I would look for a 35mm fast close-focusing prime and the kit 14-45. Right now I'm using an Elmarit-R 35mm with an adaptor -- the whole lens unit is a bit too big and heavy for hte camera but I'm getting used to it -- and the results are knocking me over.
