I agree that another zoom and the Zuiko 28/2.8 would be a better
move. Another good approach would be to get the 28/2.8, 35-70/3.5-4.5, and
100/2.8. All are excellent performers, the zoom is about the size and
weight of an ordinary 50mm, and all take the same filter size. An
excellent go-anywhere kit.

I would get the Zuiko and carry the 28. I have not been real inpressed with
the 28mm end of most zooms I have tried. In general poor edge resolution and
an unnaceptable amunt of barrell distortion. Not sure if this is true of that
particular lens, but in general that has been my observation.
