$22.90.

That's how much the ceramic Buddhist Monkey God was on sale for at a local Supermarket in Ashland, Oregon, a wonderful and eccentric community where shopping can be an adventure. And $22.90 seems an inexpensive price for a ticket to nirvana.

Dennis, your photos are crisp and stunning. Mind if I ask what lenses you used? I just bought a like-new E-M5, and primarily use legacy lenses, but I wouldn't be averse to picking up a sharp M43 lens. There are just so many from which to choose.

Tony, you have picked a great camera to start with as it was the game changer of the entire M4/3 system. I am currently using quite a few lenses, Panny 7-14, 12-35, 25 1.4, 100-300, 35-100 as well as Oly 45, 75. Most of the M4/3 lenses are tack sharp corner to corner except a few early models, being a semi-pixel-peeper myself, these lenses are the reason I switched to M4/3 from DSLR. Depending on which type of photography you are into, there are definitely decent options for you to choose from.
 
That is quite a line-up of lenses, Dennis. I tend to do a fair bit of up close, wide angle stuff, with some landscapes thrown in here and there. I have some really nice old film lenses, but may spring for a fast wide angle m43 lens after the first of the year.

If that's the case, I would highly recommend the Oly 1240, that meets pretty much all your requirement, semi macro, fairly wide, tack sharp for landscape, and a constant 2.8, and very fast focus!
