HI Philippe!
What astounds me is not that they're making more lenses... but that the M4/3rds is claiming 20% of the dSLR market (presumably, in Japan). If true, that's an astounding market penetration in a very short time.... and will, in the end, ensure the survival of the 4/3rds sensor in the foreseeable future. Bodes well for the "full size" 4/3rds (the rumoured E4 & E5, etc.) cameras, as well.
I wonder if the "R" to M4/3rds adapter is Leica's long promised "solution"! ;-)
and if you prefer a "full size sensor" there is a solution that exists right now....the Nikon full size sensor cameras work pretty well, then you don't have to wait for a cropped sensor solution to come out... 

Steve




Thanks for the pointer.

Cheers!
