Anyone know where you can buy this lens separately? I checked the major websites (B&H, Calumet, Adorama) and they only list the camera with lens (as of 7/2/09). Also, does the lens come with the viewfinder or is it a separate purchase? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

amazon sells the lens separately. Ask them if they sell it together with the viewfinder...

As far as I understand it the viewfinder is sold separately. Buying the kit is a better option in terms of money, but I think there are a lot of people waiting for that kit so I'd pre-order or be really fast as soon as it's available.

The kit with the 17mm comes with the viewfinder, that's why it's $100 more. The kit with the 14-42 lens does not come with the viewfinder (at least in the U.S.).

I just got mine... It was in-stock at OneCall briefly and I was lucky... Boy does it slim down the whole setup, I don't have the OVF, looks cool, but I'm unsure of if I'd ever use it...
