If I could use the 35-100 for my kids' soccer with my E-M5, I wouldn't have started this thread because I would have already sold the rest of my Canon gear and bought the 35-100 the day it was announced. Of course, I can't use the 35-100 for sports (to anywhere near the same effectiveness as the 7d/70-200/1.4TC), so now I'm looking at a very expensive lens for non-sports shooting.   .........

Steve, Im interested to know if you have actually tried using the 35-100 for soccer and exactly what issues you faced.

I regularly use the Panasonic 100-300mm and Olympus 75mm on the E-M5 for all kinds of school sports and concerts, and they work just fine.  I understand the issues with fast-moving objects like cars and motorbikes, and also with birds, but in my small world (which admittedly revolves around my daughter's school) the EM-5 performs just fine.
