Larry,
Thanks for the info. There are a couple of issues as far as the 12-60 
goes, one is the AF performance which has gotten mixed reviews, your 
comment is more reassuring as far as that goes. The more pressing issue 
is that I will most likely need to sell it in order to fund purchase of 
an OM-D kit. :( Also good to hear that the 12-50 is turning out to be a 
winner as it is the most likely replacement to the 12-60 if I do make 
the switch. Much to ponder here!

What do you think of the Pana 20? It is one lens I am very interested 
in. It is a strong motivating factor pushing me toward the OM-D purchase.
