That's the main reason I picked my Panasonic GX-85. The kit 12-32 lens is so compact yet good sharpness and contrast. B&H had a deal with a bundled 45-150; it's a small lens, mediocre sharpness, but it's good enough when I'm traveling and need some reach. I went into M43 knowing that I would avoid buying large lenses for it.

Just discussion, no drama nor DOOOOM.
I have a Panasonic GX-85 for those times when my main K-1 system is too bulky. Panasonic just announced a new FF alliance (with Sigma and Leica).
Will Panasonic continue to be committed to M4/3? If they quit, will Olympus go it alone? IMO it will take around 6 months to know, after we see or don't see more announcements from both companies.
Will the M4/3 format be squeezed out by smartphone improvements and the shrinking size of FF bodies? I think not. Some FF bodies are impressively small, but the lens trend is for enormous, optically perfect, heavy lenses.
