This might be a stupid question but are all M 4/3 lens the same mount?

This is really great information as I’m giving serious consideration as part of my on going rehab to making the new Olympus E-M1 mk3 as my main camera and was thinking on adding the Panasonic 100-400 to it for when I want to do a little nature etc
The EM1.3 looks a cracking camera.

Supposedly, Olympus are bringing out a 100-400 soonish as well, no idea about the specs yet, but it might be worth waiting for

It's been formally announced already: https://www.dpreview.com/news/61923...-5-pro-lens-with-built-in-1-25x-teleconverter
Thank you all for the great information and also the other viable options all worth considering
As to concerns over sensor size have been using the little baby m10 for a couple of years as a way to feel out the brand/operative nature of the body, and with current life changes I feel time is currently right to make the change into Olympus being my primary system
But I’m also making the conscious decision now that I want to buy the best lens to start with even if that means waiting for savings to allow some purchases
The Pro lenses are very good I have 3 12-100 40-150 300mm not sure what your view is on grey imports but savings can be had (Remember it's your money)
HDEW currently have EM mark 2 at £799 plus 3 year warranty 400 less than most UK shops
If you also look at my photo stream on Flickr you will notice that apart from the 100-400 my other lenses are four thirds mount ,one of the advantages of the mkii and e.mix plus I believe the mk5.iii .. and although a tad older they tend to be another way into using pro lenses without breaking the bank .
Sounds good to me I’m excited for this upgrade when it happens and I don’t don’t object to saving money on lens by taking the older generation
Hopefully this will all also help with my recovery but that’s for a different topic
It’ll be so much easier for me than always carting round the big heavy 5D3
As things stand
The one lens I know will be my start is I think 7-14/2.8 as it will be my main go to when it comes to light painting
Then I was thinking 12-100 as my general walk about
And 100-400 as my long option
Ideally I’ll also pick up a couple of fast primes too including one to double as a macro
I’m also not adverse to buying quality used lens either
I have the Panasonic 8-18mm f2.8-4 instead of the 7-14 because I wanted to fit filters it is also lighter and very sharp too.
Consider and E-M5ii with a 12-45 f4 as a walkabout kit to start with nice and light and something to get going with sooner
