Without exception I found the M lenses disappointing with either smearing, vignetting or other faults. The Contax G lenses however are superb on the micro 4/3 format and I much prefer the 90 to the 90 Summicron and the 45 to my (now sold) 50 Summilux. I've also been a bit disappointed with the performance of the Panasonic 45-200. I haven't checked but it's possible most of the shots I've taken have been at or close to full aperture, so the vignetting at the long end is very noticeable. It also doesn't appear very sharp at the long end either. Maybe the upcoming 100-300 will be better - I hope so.
