Originally posted by G.E.Zekai They are doing quite well with m4/3 mount, especially after OG 4/3 failed. Why would they ever want to stop investing in a system that is earning them good money and divide resources to build up a new mount from nothing other than some old lens patents?
Because the M4/3 line is mature enough that they can dedicate resources to a larger mount. They have filed patents on at least 3 FF mirrorless lenses over the last few years.
