Tone1k got a reaction from Jaime Valles in My open letter to Panasonic. DVX200 will be lonely, needs a brother called AF200!
JazzBox, current MFT lenses really aren't suitable for eng style shooting reliably. The decent ones have no servo and are limited in their range.
Original eng cameras had the B4 mount and interchangeable lenses (and most still do) but usually only one lens is bought or carried with each camera. You rarely see eng crews changing lenses in the field. The lens on this camera has a great range and due to its design, they have been able to include 5axis stabilisation which you don't get in traditional b4 lenses.
This is obviously not the camera for you but believe me it will find plenty of customers. Eng crews just want something that works, reliably, ergonomically and with minimal fuss. Being able to attach a 25 1.4 prime is really not a priority for them. For you, it might be, so choose the camera that allows it.

Tone1k reacted to Jimmy in Why we care about the latest gear and how this all started with a post about Top Gear - for historical purposes
and then you got obsessed and failed to recognise that there are two sides to every story, a worrying trait for a filmmaker.
