    As far as the 7-14, you're talking about the Panny 7-14?
    Yes the Panny but you can get an adapter that would fit the Oly one on it but figureing the cost of the adapter in the mix you would be better going with the Panny. There is also the 9-18mm as well.
    Maybe we will see a weather sealed m4/3rd somewhere down the line and some more rugged lenses. Faster too. I read your post in the EVIL forum, I just don't know enough about the EP-2 to comment. I have the EP-1 and it is a joy to own. I wish now I had gotten the EPL-1 so I could get an EVF but I have gotten very good a hip shooting in the streets. The image quality is very good on my EP-1. I use the 17mm lens and it focuses fast.
    The only real problem I have with my EP-1 is accidentally hitting the setting buttons on the back. The m4/3rd cameras are almost to small.
    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..

    A weather sealed, rugged m4/3 with pro grade weather sealed lenses will be my next upgrade, should it ever exist. Until it does, I don't see a huge need to upgrade an E3 with pro grade lenses.
