You’ll need much bigger bags or pelican case to hold all those lenses!

Then just buy your lenses in stages you don't need to get them all at once. Take your time, read reviews, and choose carefully as and when you identify a need.
Looks to me like you have more lenses than you needed with M43 anyway.
Maybe but I don’t really ave any cross over. And I’m a sucker for quality primes
I know I won’t swap all at the same time but it’s the question of which 3 or 4 I get with my £5k and then add some more later as and when. Dilemmas

I can fit two bodies and 5 lenses in a small sling bag. Maybe I’ll stick with m43 and avoid the divorce.
Balls deep but bought quality.and wisely second hand with the exception Of the 30mm macro I bought new on black Friday for £88. That's worth £100 more than I paid for it. Everything else is still worth what I paid for it except the em1 mark ii body so really I haven't lost out much. Will still be painful swapping as the Sony glass costs more even second hand

By shopping around or buying used you can reduce those prices further.

The bokeh on those "slower" lenses will still be faster than your 1.2, you'll likely be blown away by the difference.
Isn't 25mm 1.2 on M43 essentially like 50mm f2.4 on full frame anyway because of the 2.0x crop factor?
Not only will the above lenses provie much better DOF, but the low light capability is what really blows you away when switching to full frame from a significantly smaller sensor like M43.
Caporegime
Yes, it essentially doubles.
Yeah which is why I'm looking at swapping. Even the lenses I have at 2.8 will be better at f4 on the Sony as far as dof goes plus the Sony has much better iso.
Which is why I might settle on f4 for the telephoto lenses. Saves weight plus lots of cost
Out I interest I presume I will lose live composite moving to the Sony?

Will you lose an Olympus-only camera feature? Yes.
Caporegime
Is that like iPhone's panorama stitching?
Caporegime
No it’s for when using long shutter speeds. You start the exposure and watch it develop on the screen then simply stop it when you’re happy with the exposure achieved.
Edit: I think the camera actually combines multiple shorter exposures in camera, allowing you to see the image develop.
Caporegime
Even better than that is that you can take an exposure and leave it so it only adds new light sources without affecting the original exposure. Great for light trails and light painting.
I will miss that and the boom to astrophotography. Will also miss 60fps and pro capture taking 20 shots before you press the shutter,
Suppose I will lose photo stacking and hi res pics as well?
Oh well pros and cons I suppose.

no, more like f5.6

But your astro photography should be a LOT better with faster apertures, better DR and better ISO performance. Do it old school, it's on a tripod anyway so take your time and get it right.
I'm sure you cam make a feature pro's and cons list comparison yourself on paper to see exactly what you lose and gain.
