Have you used a GF1 with the "kit" lens?

It looks like just about everyone getting the GF1 is going with the 20, which is the best way to exploit it's strengths. The 14-45, slow as it is does march up well with the LX2 though and that is a joy to use.

The idea of that camera but with increased image quality is a nice idea too.

So, does anyone have real world time with the slow zoom?

I'd love one, but the 20 isn't wide enough for me, and the 14-45 way too big for pocketability. When they come up with a decent wide prime then I'll go for one.

I bought the gf-1 with the kit lens as the 20mm kit wasn't available at the time

That said it's an excellent lens and surprisingly sharp - certainly a lot better than most kit lenses. The camera also does some very nifty processing with the lens removing a lot of wide angle distortion

The speed of the lens isn't really an issue as it has decent IS and the cameras high iso performance is very good - it makes a great travel outfit

I've since bought the 20mm but still use the 14-45 regularly and would never think of getting rid of it
