I really don't find this news too exciting. I love small compact primes. A couple of them can slip in a jacket or vest pocket, camera on shoulder, and your good to go. Where is the nice small, light 17mm f2 that will be about 4.5 oz., 1 in. long without hood, and cost about $400~$500? Is the m4:3 now to become a playground only for those with lots of disposable income? I suppose that for a few folks the killer app would be the new OM-D and CV's 17.5mm f0.95, 25mm f0.95, and the 50mm f1.1 in M mount with an adapter. More power to them but where are the lenses for the rest of us mere mortals.
