Nathan,
Looks like a fine image under difficult lighting conditions. I had not
considered your "RAW" problem. When I bought my E-510 a few months ago, I
just transferred the RAW and JPEG images to my computer hard drive and
opened them in Elements 6.0. I have never loaded any of the Olympus
software on my computer. My only problem is that the RAW files will not
show up as thumbnails, so I keep the jpeg files to serve as a visual index,
until I am finished with my editing.
I think you will enjoy the Pancake. I'm torn between that lens or the Sigma
30/1.4 as my next addition.
