Just for full disclosure: the Olympus pictures in this set are the last 
3, i.e. the close-ups, all taken with the 100mm Apo Macro Elmarit, the 
most magnificent lens on earth (at least among those that ordinary 
people can buy).

As for the kit lens, my main issues with it are the distortion at 14mm 
and the slowness. I guess I am somewhat spoiled by the past 10 years so 
where I have shot mainly with prime lenses and fast zooms. I do realize 
that it is impossible to make a lens that is small and fast and cheap, 
so everything is a compromise. Part of the of the attraction of the 4/3 
system is that the lenses are small. And certainly the 1.4/30mm Sigma I 
also have for the E410 is A LOT smaller and lighter than the 1.4/35mm I 
have for my Canon (and I am perfectly happy with image quality).

I have ordered the 14-54mm as a replacement for the 14-42. It will give 
me an extra stop and a slightly longer range, admittedly at the expense 
of size and weight, but still well within my tolerances.
