These reviews are pretty discouraging. They only like the primes and
the most expensive zooms. Their unhappiness with the Zuiko 11-22 is
surprising. I use the Zuiko 7-14 much more often, but I haven't
noticed any problems with the 11-22 on my E-300. In fact if you don't
need the extreme wide end, I feel the 11-22 would be the better lens
to own (size, weight, lens hood, cost).

The Zuiko 12-60 may obsolete the the 11-22 if it delivers equal performance.

The Zuiko 35-100/2 and the 90-250/2.8 are huge heavy lenses that have
no size advantage over Canon L lenses. I hope the 14-35/2 turns out to
be a spectacular lens. At 86x123 mm and 915g it isn't small.
