Ian:
I'm musing about an E-Pen setup, as a reasonably small and light
walkabout system. Not immediately, but I can see it happening.
Based on current offerings, I'd probably start with the MZ9-18, the
20/1.7, which cover the FLs that I most use on my OMs.
Bigger question is what I would do for longer FLs. The kit 14-4x covers
up to 90mm or so, (most I usually carry is 100mm). Alternatively, I'd be
tempted to go with the 38,70 and 100 PenF lenses, which are nice and
small. As I have a Pen-OM adapter, longer FLs could be accomodated by a
couple of OM lenses.
I'm not at that point yet, because: 1) I'd be looking at close to $2K
and 2) I enjoy my OMs and 3) I don't want to bring two systems when I
travel.
Oh well, window shopping is cheap.

Chris, I will interested in how you like it, I am sort of coming to the
conclusion that I don't really need the four thirds system as well as
the 5D2 as they are so close in size and although the 5D2 is not tough
I like its depth of field, so I will more than likely change the four
thirds to micro four thirds rather than getting an E-5.
I like the look of the oly adapter for om to microfourthirds and also I
could continue to use the fourthirds on the pen.
However the killer microfourthirds system for me looks to be
A pen - I will wait and see if the pro version appears although the PL2
looks very tempting.
Panasonic 7-14 or keep my oly 7-14
Panasonic 20/1.7 as general walkabout lens oly 14-54 (smaller than
12-60) and some OM glass like a 50/1.8 and 90/2 should be small enough
That should make my walkabout system more manageable.
