Even AFTER you add the $150 Panasonic 4/3rds to m4/3rds adapter!!! http://www.dpreview.com/news/1008/10...y75300lens.asp The "regular 4/3rds lens" costs $300.59 at B&H and is both bigger and much heavier than the new lens. It is 11mm longer and its barrel diameter is 10mm bigger. It weighs 50% more. It also has noisy AF which renders it somewhat less suitable for video than the new lens. Seems like the new lens is a very good idea. ;-) have either of you used it? -- Peter
