One of the great things about the GF1 with 20mm lens mounted is that it will fit into a jacket pocket. Unfortunately with the 14-140mm lens mounted it becomes too big to do this. That seems to be a common complaint I hear about this lens.
BUT... that doesn't mean you need to start carrying bags around everywhere.
The 14-140mm lens by itself will fit into a jacket pocket, just not mounted to the camera. There is no reason why you can't have a "2 pocket solution" where you keep the GF1+20mm in one pocket and the 14-140mm lens in the other pocket. It's still very light and portable, and you just switch lenses when you need the zoom and switch back when you put your camera away.
...just a thought.
