yes but if you look at everything I typed I am one of the few in this discussion that never mentioned what I own or think of others purchasing decisions. In fact when I do mention others decisions I always encourage them to buy what is best for them. They have to live with it not me.

Well I'm not criticizing your posts, I'm just explaining why such debates do tend to start flame wars (maybe m43 is more prone to that kind of reaction, maybe not).

If you goal was to get information on the physics of lens design, you'd better start with a physics forum. If you want to explain prices, a business school book might be more appropriate.

If the goal was to make a complete comparison with all the options possible for your requirements, well you maybe got the answers you wanted but not whithout some "collateral damage".
