My 2 cents:

1. The Lumix 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens is sharper than the Zuiko ED
14-42/3.5-5.6, and since the GF1 lacks built-in IS, you want a lens with
built in IS, such as the Lumix 14-45mm.

2. The Lumix 7-14mm f/4.0 is excellent. I am blown away by its sharpness and
minimal distortion.

3. The Lumix 'Leica' 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 OIS was made by Panasonic for the
Lumix L1 and Leica Digilux 3, but this is a 4/3 lens, not Micro 4/3.  When
used on Micro 4/3 cameras via the Lumix DMW-MA1 4/3 to Micro 4/3 adapter,
autofocus is disabled as this lens is not contrast AF compatible.  Same with
Olympus 4/3 to Micro 4/3 adapter.
