There\'s a big difference in half the weight when my m4/3 kit weighs 6 lbs. The difference between carrying 6 lbs on your shoulder and 12 lbs on your should is enormous.
Also, there is a difference on adapted lenses as well, as you\'re using lenses with half the focal length for the same FOV. (There\'s a big difference between carrying a 200mm lens and a 400mm lens).
Plus, I don\'t think most m4/3 shooters here are using predominantly adapted lenses. Some, yes, but not the full kit. I use adapted lenses on my m4/3 cams, but I very predominantly use native lenses. Mainly because the native lenses in almost all cases are superior to any similar focal length adapted lens, unless you start spending obscene amounts of money. The Oly 45 is as good or better than pretty much every 50mm lens out there unless you start looking at Leica for 10x the cost. The Oly 75 is spanking pretty much every 85mm lens for other things. (check out this comparison to the Nikon 85/1.4...which it utterly destroys at wide apertures: http://www.wlcastleman.com/equip/reviews/olympus75mm/index.htm )
At the wide end, it\'s even less of a comparison, as no one is going to use a 20mm full frame lens instead of the 20mm pancake.
