I understand, but we got used to one system (35mm) because we had to. It was a trade-off of weight and size relative to 120. People will adjust to the new smaller format, and blur their background in Photoshop. Or better, the camera will do it. You choose max DOF or less and the camera processes it for you. Evidently Photozone will not make direct comparison between micro 4/3 lenses and others because these cameras always correct the lenses for distortions.

Eventually the camera bodies will be good enough computers to handle all of this. We're still in that painful development stage. I'm still amazed that ISO 3200 is not big deal any more.
