Or Leica? (Won't hold my breath. . .) As for the Oly 11-22 mm lens, for me it is too close to the 14-54/2.8-3.5 Zuiko "standard" lens. (For 4/3 format, you double the focal length for 35mm equivalent). One pays a fair amount to just get that little 11-13mm slice of wider angle. If you price the lenses as cost per mm of wide angle, then even at its heftier price, the f/4 7-14mm is a better value. Plus I consider it a ground-breaking lens, much in the same class as the Leica APO 70-180/2.8. With the Zuiko wide and that Leica telephoto, I feel like I have the two best "book-ends" in the world. Thanks to all who commented on the landscape shot!
