Yeah, all fascinating glass, but are you sure you`re really missing them? 
- When you think about size and weight? - Price not to mention?

I´d never change my 260g, Zuiko 2.0/85 for a 595g heavy Zeiss 1.4/85, or my 
230g, Zuiko 2.0/35
for a Zeiss Distagon 1.4/35 with 600g weigth. - Sure professional`s think 
different about that.
But for me e.g. the Contax/Zeiss-lens line has more holes than the OM-System. 
Also in the Leica-Programm has the smaller lenses dissapered inthe latest 
overviews.
