A home run might be difficult.
There's already a :Leica 25/1.4 and a Voigtlander 25/0.95
http://www.cameraquest.com/voigt_m43.htm
Both get good reviews. Where could Oly provide something unique?
A pancake 25? Macro?
On the other hand, there are several Oly 4/3 lenses that, if they
were produced in m43, might be very competitive indeed. The 50/2
macro, 14-35/2 pro zoom and 12-60/2.8-4 consumer zoom are
ones I can think of. Likely there are others.
Also, there are areas not covered well by current offerings. A
good prime in the 10-16 range would be sure to sell.
