Re: Agree, M43 has (Lost-its-Way) chasing BIG EXPENSIVE LENS

Olympus definitely did - even their new 12-45 f4 is ridiculously big for what it is.

Panasonic seems better at making small lenses. Just look at their 12-60 and compare to the old Olympus 12-60.

yet to be determined.  If the12-45 is sharp like the 12-40... count me in.  If not noticeably better than the lumix 12-60f3.5-5.6, which is 45g lighter, than I agree.  The lumix is available as a kit add-on for $100.  While it doesn't have the smoothest zoom (I find this a handicap using video) it is also wx resistant... though perhaps not to the same standard.
