No, it (MFT) can´t. That´s why I´m not overexcited and maybe now also an unexperienced buyer will notice there is certain difference between say 24mm/f2.0 ekv.lens on MTF and FX (despite marketing claims and various posts about about the "paper-thin" DOF on MTF etc.).
Otherwise yes again, Ep3 + 24/f2.0 + 45/f1.8 is the step in the right direction and I even dare to say this will save the whole MTF concept from gradual extinction.
Just can you say why no other manufacturer is interested in producing mirorless, modern full frame body (Fuji X100-like) with interchangeable optics and say 4 nice fast primes like 24/f1.4, 50/f1.4, 85/f1.4 and 135/f2.0? Why? The thing is I get a feeling I´m certainly not the only one longing for such a system.

The FF DSLR market has a share of less than 10% ... a niche within a niche isn't really attractive for the manufacturers. It may be perceived differently but APS-C as well as MFT is the mainstream nowadays - it is simply sufficient. There will be more mirrorless systems - but FF ? I don't think so.
BTW, it is not about pricing I think. A full format sensor costs between 100-200US$. That's just noise from a global perspective.
