The silver version of this lens has a number of very inexpensive prices on Amazon FYI; I can't vouch for sellers, warranties, etc but I was struck by the low price and thought some might be interested (I don't think I can justify getting this since I have the 40-150 4-5.6R but I am tempted due its tiny size): Amazon.com : Panasonic 35-100mm f/4-5.6 Interchangeable Zoom Lens (Silver) : Camera & Photo
