Will good glass make my EPL1 images brilliant like an OMD-e5 or should i just buy the OMD

Good glass has better contrast than a kit lens or a cheap lens because there is less light dispersion in the glass (light being distributed a bit in all directions, turning black areas into dark grey for instance). So a good lens captures more of the dynamic range of the scene than a cheap one and as a result also requires the sensor to be able to capture more dynamic range.

So in fact good glass requires a better camera to get the best out of it and this is not a matter of high iso capabilities or of resolution.
