I own a Fuji X system, but I notice that I prefer to take my Fuji x100 or Nikon 1 system for street / general photography.

So the thought came that an Olympus E M10 with a pancake and sometimes a portrait lens might be a flexible alternative for the x100 that is smaller than the Fuji X system.

When researching I found that the Pana 20mm 1.7 has outdated focusing speed, while the Pana 14mm and Oly 17 mm had less than stellar IQ. The Pana Leica 25 mm, Pana 25mm, and newer Oly 17mm are nice lenses but no pancakes.

Less than stellar IQ?

Are you pixel peeping and viewing at 100%?

m43 isn't meant for pixel peeper period.  If you are one consider a system with bigger sensor.
