Thanks. I've already yelled at myself and told me to stop denigrating
my photos so much.

Isn't the 100/2.8 the $2500 rare beast?
I used manual focus on the OM's... why not now? Duh. I'm an idiot. I
wasn't thinking - I had the 50/1.2 with the 4/3 adapter on it tucked in
the bag. That would have given me the same effective focal length as
the 12/50 at the long end. I need to try that next time I'm at a club.
Actually, I'm going to just try shooting a bunch of stuff to get the
feel for how it focuses on the E-M5. I don't think the Sigma is, as you
said, enough different from the Panny 20/1.4 that I already have.
I'm going to do some snooping around and see what I can scare up.
