You're so biased, that even if someone "gave" you an Olympus gold watch, you'd refuse it.

One thing for sure, you're missing out on some great lenses.

Actually, I would take that gold watch and sell it and buy more Panasonic items to support the GH-3 set up.

I was biased when I shot Nikon SLR/DSLR too and was glad to only use Nikon optics when I could. If the formula works it works.

Interesting. Unlike Nikon, Panasonic is an electronics company. And like Nikon, Olympus is an optical company.

Panasonic needs help from Leica to design their better optics. Olympus manages quite well on it's own. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see Olympus designed Sony lenses in the near future.

As I said, your stubbornness negates you some excellent optics

why do you think Olympus is better. Panasonic has more options. Olympus has I think a 12 2.0 lens they overcharge for just because of its color. That 75-300 is slower than Panasonic's based on aperture. The Panasonic 45 2.8 is better than the Olympus only if you need a macro solution.

I have the 12/2 and the 14/2.5. No contest.

The Olympus 45/1.8 is a great portrait lens, and at less than $400 a great value.

Olympus 60/2.9 macro tested superior to the 45/2.8 macro for 1/2 the price. Just got one

The 75/1.8 is in a class by itself. I'm very tempted.

As for the 75-300, don't knock it until you try it. I had both the 100-300 and the 75-300. I have to say IQ wise they're very similar. Focus wise (on an E-M5), the 75-300 is faster and more surefooted.

And then come all the HG and SHG lenses, which are in among the best. Hoping for a new hybrid model that could take advantage of these lenses.

Don't get me wrong, I may be an Olympus fanboy, but unlike you I also own Panasonic gear. 2 bodies and 4 lenses. The FZ200 may be my next toy.

And the killer, is my ยต4/3 pocket cam. The GF3 with the 15/8 bodycap lens.
