The XPan (double width 35mm panoramic) have only 3 lens, so the choice is
made for you. I use them in the following frequency:

45mm - 60% (similar to ~24mm in 35mm FOV but crop to 24x65 ratio)
30mm - 20% (similar to ~18mm but crop to ...)
90mm - 20% (similar to ~45mm ...)

On the Leica, I use 35mm probably 70% of the time, 50mm 20%, and 75/85 for
10% but really mainly for portrait there.

On the 4/3, I use it mainly for events, so the needs are drastically
different.

I will guess that I will use a 35mm equivalent lens the most, which for the
P30, according to the Capture free's XLS worksheet, would be a 45mm lens.
Hence my original thinking of returning the 60mm and get a 50mm Distagon
instead (found the worksheet after I bought the lens :-) )
