I guess it all depends on the type of lens, bigger longer lenses are less likely to sell.

Smaller lenses are another story, especially now the GH3 has been released.

Sorry was editing when you were posting. I'd kind of agree though. Some of the really long lenses there isn't much to substitute for though in M4/3. I've got a 70-210 with a 2X converter, which gives me 840mm EFL! But do agree in the medium length tele range, the M4/3 are smaller and easier to focus and a heck of a lot less weird looking on a tiny body (I really worried that the lens and teleconverter would break the front off my camera, no tripod mount on the lens). If M4/3 had a native teleconverter (or set of them a 1.4 and 2X) I think it would make even more difference. Find the 50's etc. I've got aren't too big though on an EPL1 body...at least for me. One of the best lenses I've got is a 24mm  F2.5 manual, and use it all the time.
