But frankly, it would have to improve my image quality such that the average person looking at an image would say, "Wow! Look at that!" for me to even consider it. The best thing about the Oly 4/3 cameras is their ergonomics, and the glass they've been producing for them. If I go for any other lens at this point it will be the Sigma 30 1.4 for the speed.
