Just to chime in,
I also prefer the 12-60 over the 14-54, but I'm an architect, so wide
I like :). When using Studio the distortion is not a problem at all.
But the most used lens on the E-3 is either the 50f2 or the 25 f1.4
for portraiture. But to be honest, the E-3 is feeling very neglected
lately. Film and 5D are being used far more, and with the 5D the
50f1.4 performs very nicely, so I can forget about the 25 panaleica.
In a way I'm even considering selling the E system. My old glass
performs very good on that digital body.

is waaaaay faster, haha!)
