I know nothing of the m.4/3 lenses and how they perform, though I
thought the samples looked very good.

The battle for bokeh is somewhat of a lost cause with 4/3 anyway.  I can
occasionally get somewhat decent blur from close-focusing the DZ 50-200,
or even the DZ 40-150 (except that it doesn't focus very close).

I think this is decent blur (though the background could be a little
more interesting):

This has a busier background, but I think the lens does OK:

(DZ 40-150 in both cases at f5.6 -- essentially wide open or close to.)

I am mainly content if the result is not simply awful. :\
