I am, however, severely disappointed that Panasonic and Olympus are obviously always releasing lenses in the same class. Rather than filling the gaps competition seems more important to them which is an utterly useless approach at this stage. Who needs two fisheye lenses for god's sake ? However, this just reconfirms the poor marketing of the FT/MFT gang.

Yeah, that's the most annoying thing about the so called "cooperation" in the mFT market.
If by some miracle panasonic releases a ~40mm f1.8 pancake, GF1 with these 3 pancakes (20mm f1.7 and 14mm f2.5) would be a perfect ultra-light travel kit. But I guess it's not going to happen in the nearest future <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
