The Panasonic 20mm and the Olympus 17mm 1.8 do simply not allow enough control over DOF for my applications. Was to be expected but I had hoped I could compromise on it (no, Voigtlanders are no option for me due to missing AF, size and weight).

For short DOF work there is always the chance a miracle will happen with Sony and their (eventual) FF mirror-less camera.  Maybe the lenses will be small and bright and optically excellent... or not.

DOF control is something I can accept giving up for portability.  The problems with the EM5 usability you point out are not inherent to the platform, so there is hope things will be resolved in subsequent iterations.  In the meantime I have the GH2 in my bag as well, and do my best to keep the 7-14 far away from my EM5.
