Not too sure that I agree with your logic. As far as I'm concerned, the
first reason to buy into a camera system should be because of the lenses.
With that said, I have no complaints regarding the quality of Zuiko lenses.
However, to be brutally honest, if I were to start over again from scratch
today....I'd choose the Canon EOS system.
