Just finished reading this piece, and I wish to thank Kevin for a nice write-up on a great camera system. I have migrated fully to m43 a few months back, no regrets. I think that m43 has matured nicely as a system, and is now capable of satisfying most photographers. Regarding lenses, I would like to put ina word for Voigtlander and their dedicated m43 lenses, the f0.95 ones.
I have recently started shooting with the 42.5mm lens from Voigtlander, and is nothing short of amazing. The EM-1 offers all sorts of auxiliary functions and ways of helping with manual focusing, which makes very easy to use a MF lens. Voigtlander have already announced a 10.5 f0.95 lens for 2015, so I am eagerly awaiting for that one.
