TDP,
Who is the maker of that half-case? Is that ostrich skin on which the camera sits?

I might pick up the 20 and just use an adapter.

Unless the lens itself is re-designed to suit the smaller sensor and shorter flange distance you'd be best off buying these lenses as they are with an adapter. Converting them to a m4/3 mount limits their usefulness to just one type of camera.

I was thinking a little wider, like a fast 14mm or 12mm for m43.

I bought it from an online vendor in Taiwan, they have tons of colors and they are inexpensive.

TDP can you post a link to that Tiawanese vendor? I've seen them on eBay but they seem kind of pricy there...

I see - you meant "wider" not "wide" :)

The 12/2 is excellent, so I don't think Cosina will try to provide an alternative to that. And a high end 14 might not sell that well - I would see people preferring the 12 or 17.5 over it. It would make more sense for them to give us a fast telephoto - something in the 40-60mm range would be very interesting (like dhazeghi also mentioned earlier). With such a lens, they would offer a perfect triplet - a wide angle, a normal, and a short telephoto.
