The 14-54 does not have noticeable barrel distortion. I like it much
more than the 14-45.
Olympus is coming out with a 12-60 possibly in Oct-Nov.

I believe the announcement on dpreview indicated it would be a "pro"
lens putting its quality between the standard and top pro lenses.
The 11-22 is a very nice lens.
