It is good for all purpose.
20mm wide angle - good for landscape
f1.7 - fast lens, good for low light

Macro is abit so-so, you'll have to crop the picture to get good effect.

Thanks for the reply Should I even be bothered with the kit 14-42mm lens?

Well yes.
It is a good lens, not great.
it is 14mm, wider than Pana 20mm. Good for group photos. Especially on trip when you need to take group photo with landscape.
People will definitely ask, how come your "small" camera can fit so many things in, but not mine?
42mm zoom is nothing to shout about, but is good to have. Besides the kit lens is not huge, won't add much weight to your gears.

Thanks for the advice

I was thinking of GRDIII too since I myself own a GX100 But in the end....Olympus PL-1 Reason? Well, the ISO performance is great. Noise at 1600 is not that visible (unless you're pixel-peeper lah )

wow, I need this too.. can tell me the price and the place to get?

@Wuahaha, can u post pic of the camera and the lens? love to see it

My GF1 Family

wow..your gf family...i just have 20mm

any problem while taking nice photos? cos i think this lens does not have ois on it. its kinda attractive.. but cos of this make me think either take this lens or pana 45-200mm ..

Would love to know the price for the 70-300 as well.

I got it from Zappon (George), CODed for (Rm1230 + Rm450) for 70-300mm + MMF1 respectively. Nice price and very friendly guy.

Ok I will post some pic tonight.

gf1 user have no choice. They need to get 45-200mm for OIS. But since Wuahaha got 70-300mm, then maybe its really doesn't matter

Ya lor ... GF1 doesn't have a built-in image stabilizer, so if got OIS is a plus.

pancake lens anyone?? XD
