When it comes to lenses mFT has shown the way and never fell behind. With some recent additions, the Sigma 56 mm F1.4 from a third party and the 10-25 mm f1.7 to come. The Leica zooms......This is one of the main reasons in my view to go mFTs, not to leave it.

m43 lenses aren't the panacea everyone makes them out to be. I've had some bum ones and even some high dollar ones that were not up to the standards of other brands high end lenses. There are certainly very good m43 lenses, but other brands have them too.

Pretty much everyone can make good lenses if they want to. Nothing special about m43 there.

Oh and Wide to Ultra-Wide in m43 is really lacking. I have 2 high end m43 zooms with 12mm and both are blown away by my Canon FF 16-35 and equaled by the cheap Canon APSC 10-18. This is an area where m43 really needs help.

Fullly agree, but the same applies to other crop sensor line ups as well: no good small WA primes for Nikon DX, Canon crop or Sony E. There are zoom lenses, though.

I do think the m43 f1.7-1.8 primes have sort of a sweet spot in IQ and size. Unfortunately it looks like nothing else will ever happen in that space again.

Agree.

Personally I think Fuji has the best mirrorless lens lineup out there.

At least for primes. And they have a decent pricing!

That's across all formats.
