Not a flame war. A legitimate lens comparison

if so, about image quality, handling, overall system flexibility, or what?

or self-justification of what youve bought or want to buy?

Obviously only important to the OP, not very useful for anyone else.

Only trying to clear up the "small format has cheap small lenses myth" or hell prove it right if it is. I know this is the internet so it really does not matter this "fact" will exist for a long time regardless of evidence.

To be useful it would obviously have to include cameras with similar characteristics and all the available lenses, which of course would make the list so large that it would be impossible to use.

I did not want to tread down the "superior sytem" path. It is a dumb discussion. Way too many intangibles. There was a fun one with the Em1 and A7ii with 24-70 f4 and whatever the equivalent oly lens was. It was interesting because they were almost the same size and price. Very close in feautures with the three big differences being weathersealing, touchscreen, and sensor size. Honestly it really does not matter if one of them won every single category. A purchaser might decide they just like the look or feel of one over the other and good for them. It is their money

I suspect that anyone actually interested in this would check the cameras and lenses they wanted and compare them as to size, price and quality.

Absolutely. A purchaser has to have an idea and trim down the playing feild to direclty compare. ALso hopefully get some hands on experience too

The problem is that you list specific lenses that you think others want. I have two Olympus DSLRs and two Olympus mirror less and have none of those lenses and don't have any interest in purchasing any of them, so your post is of importance to you. I have taken over 300,000 images with my Olympus cameras with no need for any on your list. Without cameras of similar characteristics and comparison of image quality produced by the camera/lens along with size and price, it is simply a troll post of no real importance.

No I did not list lenses that I think someone wants. I listed lenses that are roughly equivalent. If you go to smaller aperture lenses than there are other smaller lenses in the apsc category that can compete head to head against them. There are plenty of people that have taken 300,000 photos with an iphone that are happy with them. I am not saying there is anything wrong with m 4/3.

You're missing a very important factor. Some photographers have decided that they don't need or want the shallow DOF that comes with FF systems. For those photographers, there is no need to try to build an m43 system that is as close to FF equivalent as possible.
