 static displays are very hard to frame with the 28mm - I always have to
 move around and such to get the framming.  I am considering the Series 1
 28-105mm, and am wondering if any Oly users have comments about this lense,

If you want to stay all-Zuiko (not a bad way to go, but certainly not the only
way), your only choice is the 28mm-48mm/4. Not a bad lens by any means. I own
one, and love it. The range is limited, though, and it's a bit slow. I've been
very happy with it from a sharpness/contrast/flare perspective. I've never
used it for astrophotography, however. Takes 49mm filters, and very compact.

Hope this helps a little
