The 18-50/2.8, while released in 4/3 mount, I'm sure was really designed 
for the 1.5-1.6X crop factors of non-Oly DSLSR's.  There it translates 
roughly to the 28-80 range of 35mm.  Compared to the DZ 14-54 it does 
suffer from lack of range on the low end but is also a constant aperture 
design which can sometimes be important.
