Do you shoot RAW or JPEG?

The better lenses will tend to give you more pop out of camera, but if you shoot RAW, Lightroom has a Clarity slider and other controls that will give you whatever pop and color you want.

Good question - I stopped shooting raw due to lack of time - see above comments on toddlers etc

If I understand you correctly, the "Samsung colors" may be easier to reproduce in PP from raw than the "Leica microcontrast"?

I wish I had more experience with the Leica 25mm f/1.4 DG, if I bought an Olympus my plan was to get that lens. It isn't a pancake though, so might not be as slim as an NX with 30mm f/2.

True , the weight is not the same either, that's why I want to get peoples' opinion on whether it's worth it to change system to m43 just for that lens (potentially the olyumpus 12mm is also better thatn the samsung 16mm but I'll use WA much less often than normal perspective)
