Any bigger format it is unlikely to cover the frame!

I'm thinking a 100 f 0.95 sounds tailor made for people who photograph musicians on dimly lit stages. (photographing other luggers in a bar with this on a micro 4:3, you'd have to lean back in your chair, which might mean you'd fall backwards, which might mean you'd kick the table on your way down, which would likely mean that you would knock over the Leicastack and probably spill a lot of Glenlivet, which would probably mean you'd get your posterior kicked, so I can't recommend it). >Pretty good for the price but a 50mm on M4/3 is 100mm.
