Thanks Wayne, I am certainly well aware of that.
You may have picked up that I enjoy shallow DOF, but I have no illusions
of ever achieving that from a quarter-area sensor camera.

Still, why I wish they would introduce said lenses, is to make up for  
the
poorer high-ISO performance, and to produce an overall more flexible  
photographic
tool which would not get slaughtered when Canon/Nikon etc. finally get  
onto
this bandwagon, which they surely will (be forced to by the market).

I wish Olympus had done better. But our hopes must lie in a manufacturer
such as Cosina/Voigtlander, who might maybe one day start designing
lenses specifically for the Micro Four Thirds mount.

Otherwise, aesthetics of the big ugly finder aside, the E-P2 looks  
quite nice.
Just not the small professional tool I would have liked to see,  
personally.

regards,
Dawid
