C mount lenses are marginal for coverage of 4/3. Any bigger format it is 
unlikely to cover the frame!

Aparantly people have been modifying these to fit M mounts for a while, I've 
seen a couple in the $800 range.

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. It turns into a
