Thanks.  I've already yelled at myself and told me to stop denigrating 
my photos so much.

Isn't the 100/2.8 the $2500 rare beast?

I used manual focus on the OM's... why not now?  Duh.  I'm an idiot.  I 
wasn't thinking - I had the 50/1.2 with the 4/3 adapter on it tucked in 
the bag.  That would have given me the same effective focal length as 
the 12/50 at the long end.  I need to try that next time I'm at a club.  
Actually, I'm going to just try shooting a bunch of stuff to get the 
feel for how it focuses on the E-M5.  I don't think the Sigma is, as you 
said, enough different from the Panny 20/1.4 that I already have.

I'm going to do some snooping around and see what I can scare up.
