Hi all. Just. got an e-p1, and already I think I'm a m4/3rd's convert! Problem is, I think my zuiko 7-14, which is my favorite lens ever, would simply be too front heavy for the camera. I'm that happy with the system, I was going to get rid of the E3, and use my existing glass on the pen with an adapter.
So....does anyone either have experience of this combo, or should I sell the zuiko and pick up the Panasonic? Sounds daft, but I feel like I'd sooner get divorced than sell the zuiko! Is the Panasonic every bit as good? Any advice appreciated.

If you're worried about the weight, and possibly the autofocus quality with the adapter, then I would say to go for it. But the Panasonic 7-14mm is a lot different than the Olympus offering, and Olympus only has the great (but shorter) 9-18mm. Only problem with the Panasonic is the extreme price.
