Which body for 14-150mm lens - Panasonic L1 or L10?

[rick_robinson2]

I recently bought a mint Leica 14-150mm lens and am trying to decide which Panasonic camera body would work

best with this lens - the L1 or L10? I really like the controls and build quality of the L1. However, the compact size

and higher resolution of the L10 would make that a good choice also. Which would you choose - the L1, L10, or wait

for something better?

 

Also, how does the image quality of the 14-150mm lens compare against the Olympus 12-60mm lens?

 

Thanks!

how about an olympus e series camera?

Of course, Olympus is an option, but I would like to be able to use the aperture ring on the Leica lens (like I did in my film days).

In addition to its compact size and higher resolution, also consider that the L10 has superior low light capability (less noise at high ISOs), and has a superior viewfinder. The tilt/swivel LCD screen is also a nice touch, especially if you ever intend to use LiveView.
