Thank you. Choice is always nice. If someone knows they do not want to purchase fast glass it is good to know that there are smaller cheaper options available. The same can be said for the apsc e mount and the fuji. My point was just that it seems equivelant lenses across the board are very close in size and price between systems.

You've shown price, but not size, as you didn't list weight/volume for the lenses. Note that reviewers are always remarking on the size of the Fuji lenses. Another point of interest is that Sony is quickly orphaning APS-C, just as Canikon have done. If I were moving to APS-C, I would only consider Fuji and Samsung, as its their main focus.

If you compare the equivalent lenses I listed you will see they tend to be similar in size and weight . There are compact camera comparison tools where you can like them up.

Last time I did the math (and it was a long time ago :-), µ4/3 made for a significantly lighter kit with the same focal lengths than any APS-C system.

With the equivalent(ff x1, apsc x1.6, m43 x2) focal lengths they are similar in size if you also factor the aperture the same way to give the lenses an equivalent look. Then the systems all the way down the line start to look very similar with Fuji having slightly smaller lenses almost all the way across the board
