Panorama of micro 4/3 lenses

I spent a couple of hours trying to list all existing and announced lenses with MFT mounts. Because I'm curious, because it might be useful for some readers, and because I like classifying things since always^^

It turns out that the choice for m43 is already very large as you can see in the graph here below: more than 50 lenses dedicated to Micro Four-Thirds cameras (i.e. without any adapter) will be available by the end of this year !!!

As I speak, my list should be more or less complete, even if a few marginal lenses are missing (e.g. the Panasonic 3D lens, the ultra-cheap SLR Magic "toy" lenses, or the ultra-expensive Zeiss MFT collection). The main suppliers are obviously Olympus and Panasonic but other ones like Sigma, SLR Magic or Voigtlander are also doing a very good job.

Conclusion: the Micro 4/3 system is definitively a significant standard. Full of future promise hopefully :)
