Sorry to hijack the D90's thread. But what basic Lens kit would people recommend for the GH1. I think it would be helpful to hear views for people to make their purchases if they go for the GH1.

My needs are I need optical stabilisation (if possible), and I dont need a macro or a fish eye or any of that nonsense. I was wondering if the kit lens 14mm-? kit lens would be enough for shooting. I need to take wide shots, mid shots and close-ups. I would like as low an fstop as possible as well to get as shallow a depth of field as possible.

So whats a good basic kit for the GH1?
 
as far as I know the kit lens is the only one with OIS so far. If you want to go wide there's the 7-14mm but it's very slow at f/4. the kit lens is slow too so if you want a shallow depth of field you'd want to go for the panasonic/leica 24mm f/1.4 or an old nikon 35mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.4. but you have the option of fitting lenses from other manufacturers with adapters.

If I decide to get a GH1 I'll get an olympus 14-35mm f/2 it's not cheap at almost $2000 US
