I want the 14-54 for it's increase and speed and closer focusing for a
couple of reasons (at least that's what people have been saying) In the
meantime, the $15 is a cheap way to fix other problems. What's interesting
is that I thought one of the features of the Olympus was the ability to
correct for lens distortion right on the camera. I guess it didn't do a
good job in this case at least.
