Hi Everybody... I'm relatively new to M4/3 with a Panasonic G7 and a few of the inexpensive lenses (the kit zoom, the 25 1.7, and a couple vintage manual focus 50mm primes). However, I'm curious about experiencing the absolute best that the system has to offer just to see. I've heard that it's not really fair to judge M4/3's IQ until you use one of the pro lenses, so I was thinking it might be fun to rent something and see for myself. I typically shoot in the 24-70 range (travel, street, everyday) though I also do some portraiture--so I guess anywhere from 24-150mm is the range I'm looking at (FF equivalent obviously). If you were to recommend renting one lens anywhere in that focal range, prime or zoom, what would it be? It doesn't need to be the most "practical" lens either.

I've never used one, but the 40-150MM F2.8 PRO would be the top of my list to play with. But rent the 75mm 1.8, it's not a pro lens, but it's tremendous fun (if you're wondering to do with that focal length, it's great for butterflies).
