Vince,

My son found that wheelbarrow junked at a construction site where he
worked years ago. We still use it occasionally for light hauling, but
mostly it just sits against the tree.

I agree that the Summicron shot is in a class by its own, but I was
surprised by the relative quality of the Panasonic 14-45 'kit' lens.
If you didn't have the Summicron shot to compare it to I'd say it's
not bad at all, especially for a kit zoom lens.
