It will go the other way with me... I'm not likely to want to use my
brand-new E-1 (or E-5 by the time I can afford it...) -all the time- with my
OM lenses. So it will come with at least one usable E-series lens right
away. Then after I've used the long tele Zuikos and the other special lenses
I want (e.g. 50/2.0 macro) and seen what they can do I'll decide which
additional E-series lenses I'd be interested in. Hopefully by that time
there will be a considerable range include fast primes (or faster zooms) as
well as the likelihood that the 'E-5' body will have higher and better
quality ISO equivalents available. If the camera is truly usable and
produces good pictures with the E-series lenses I can definitely see myself
getting more than one lens eventually, but I would never start out with
-just- the body.
