Personally, I think it's the least desired focal length of all. It's too long to be a "normal" but too short to be a portrait tele. Personally, I would not buy a prime between 20 and 40 mm. Why can't they do a 40/1.4 (or 42 or 45) instead? Why 30 mm? Personally, I think it’s the least desired focal length of all. It’s too long to be a “normal” but too short to be a portrait tele.

Not interested in any primes in the 26-44mm (52-88 eq.) range. I'd prefer something more like this: 50mm -> Nice for Portraits (1.8 at least). (Or a macro version would be nice) 20mm-> Perfect Normal lens (I'm putting off my EP-1 decision until I see Panasonic's 20 1.7). I certainly prefer 40 eq to 50eq as normal lens. Of course 1.4 (or more) would be sweet :) Prime in the 7-10 range (2.8 at least). What do you think? What lenses would you want? (Let's help Olympus with their roadmap! ;) ) 60mm equivalent?

I wouldn't buy a 30mm at all - just don't have any interest in that focal length. I'd rather have an f/2 than a 1.4 as well, to keep it small and light.
