Yup. And if this is true for you, there's no reason not to go with Olympus.

There are adpaters if you wanted to say use a Canon lens.
I don't think anybody's actually come up with EOS -> 4/3rds adapters that allows you to control the aperture. Canon EOS lenses do not have an aperture ring, any more than Nikon G lenses do. Typically, you're stuck at shooting wide open, from what I hear. What should be prevalent and available (but isn't) is a Canon FD/FL -> 4/3rds adapter, but the lower number of four-thirds users who want to adapt anything other than OM is probably not a big enough population to have made it worth someone's time to do so, which I find infuriating. Because FD/FL adapters are already out there for µ4/3s.

There are also numerous other manufacturs who produce four/thihrds lens.
Sadly, there are only two: Panasonic(/Leica) and Sigma. And the Panasonic lenses, iirc, will do stabilization correctly on Olys, but Oly lenses may not stabilize correctly on Panasonic bodies. Not sure, might be the other way 'round. The four-thirds website lists all the four-thirds lenses. Tamron and Tokina have yet to see the four-thirds light.
