I can really recommend the Pannie 14/2.8. Almost a pancake lens, and does fantastic near-far wide shots.

I just did some looking, and Amazon has some used Lumix 14 2.8 lenses

The E-Pl1 is a good body, and a great value for $169.  If you can grab
the Oly 17 or the Lumix 14 or 20 it becomes a great little
street/close quarters/ camera.

I got an adapter to use some LTM lenses with a m4/3 Panasonic. What interests 
me the most is the Sony NEX and all of the adapters it has. I think Sigma's 
biggest mistake has been producing a dSLR that uses only Sigma lenses. If they 
had a dSLR that would (via adapter) use everyone else's lenses, that would be a 
keeper.

thats the problem with m43, to get wide angle you need to buy a 14mm lens.

You haven't really crossed to the darkside, at least you're using good
glass... ;-)   However with that 2x crop you really don't have anything
that qualifies as wide angle,

adapter off-brand $20.00 and
4 manual Pentax lens 28mm 50mm 135mm and 35-80 zoom.

Here are a few photos taken after I opened the box popped in the
battery and set the camera to Aperture priority.

I have a second batch to look at today. Looks like a usable waking
camera&  2nd camera for planned outings.
Next week there is a local festival here where I will try the movie mode.

It is great to get some use out of these lenses. They are  doubled
effective focal length which leaves me wanting something on the WA side.
But the 135mm does make for a small light 270mm.

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid
a lengthily search.
