Two variables,in order of importance, beyond the usual style of photographer differences:

autofocus speed
ability to occasionally set the lens at a hyperfocal distance

Which one would you recommend and why?

Camera is the E-5.
Also will use the Pan-Leica 25mm.

Also use the E-PL2 with a 9-18mm or 20mm lens.

Thanks.

BTW, love your work and your contributions here Greg!
