Because on the K-1 it is unusually wide and fast. On mft it is just
unusually large.
I suppose you also object to other metricless ratings as "creamiest
bokeh", and "best UI"?
I can't measure why my 77 gives me such wonderful photos, that doesn't
mean that discussing it is nonsense.

Why? What makes that 11mm f/4 so cool on the K1 such that it isn't on
mFT? Is it cooler than the Voigtländer Heliar-HyperWide 10mm f/5.6
which even works on the Hasselblad 44x33 mm format (as well as on 35FF,
mFT, and APS-C formats)? The notion of a metric-less rating like
"coolness" is just literally non-sense.

That’s an easy one to answer: anyone who shoots MFT, and for any sort

I could ask anyone on this list if I could borrow their best lens,
and doubtless there will be an adapter for MFT - no fettling
involved.
Of course, whether or not you would trust me with your pride and joy
is entirely another matter ;-)
