Having just purchased a mZuiko 12mm lens, it struck me that there is a gap in Olympus' m4/3 "prime" lens line-up.
You have the 12mm, the 17mm, the 45mm, the 60mm (to come) and now the 75mm.
But where is their take on the "standard" lens, the 20-25mm?
Has anyone heard mention of it on a road-map?
So far as non-kit lenses go, Olympus and Panasonic both seem to be avoiding duplicating what the other already produces, with a few exceptions. This may change as the respective ranges become more populated.

"A hundredth of a second here, a hundredth of a second there � even if you put them end to end, they still only add up to one, two, perhaps three seconds, snatched from eternity." ~ Robert Doisneau
This is true, but I don't know if it's by design or happenstance.
Purely from the stands of design and ergonomics, I prefer to have an Olympus lens. That's certainly not to say that Olympus lenses are better than Panasonic - far from it. But I would like to see a 25mm from Olympus, in silver, on the front of my silver E-M5.
