In the meantime can someone explain why the FT lenses have an inherent advantage over MFT ones?
I think you could make a massive, high quality white elephant zoom for MFT as easily as FT. Far better of course to provide manageable zooms (say f2.8-f3.5) and very high quality primes. If one is prepared to cart around huge zooms, one might as well put a huge sensor behind them.


I think sometimes when discussing 4/3 lenses compared to m4/3 lenses people sometimes overlook that both sets of glass are designed and made for the same sized sensor. In other words, if one wants the design, speed and construction of say the ZD 12-60 in m4/3, they're going to get the ZD 12-60 with a m4/3 mount. It won't be smaller or lighter or faster or slower, it will be what Olympus has already designed for the 4/3 sensor.

and how would you explain size reduction of the Panasonic D to DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ?

Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 ASPH Leica D SUMMILUX 75mm x 77.7mm / 3.06 in. x 3.1 in. 525g / 18.5 oz

Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 ASPH Leica DG SUMMILUX 54.5mm x 63mm / 2.14 in. x 2.48 in. 200g / 7.05 oz
