Depends. I've got my 14-54, which is a sweet lens. I guess it depends on
which kit lens I get. I haven't had a chance to research much - I know of
the two kit lenses that came with the E-1, the 14-54 was widely regarded as
the "great lens" and the other one was the "just put a lens on it" lens.
I really wish I could find a store that has one of these - none of the
local big box stores do. Maybe one of the big camera stores in Chicago
would actually have one in stock, like Helix or Calumet.
