The sensor will be exposed for a short time, but it's perfectly ok as long as you don't change lenses in bad conditions.
With practice, you can expose the sensor for less than 5 seconds, so dust will be minimal.
Save me from the BBB bug !

Put it this way, 5 secs, or 5 mins, dust will still get on, so why worry? As wonglp already said(and can personally testify XD) Olympus has the best anti dust, even my aging E-1 don't give me any issues, so shoot more, worry less
Dust can clean and remove digitally, pictures gone means forever, and you'll want kick yourself in the rear if you missed the moment

yes, spidey89 is right... dust will go in... at least I think it is much easier to blow the dust off from my m4/3 than DSLR. For the DSLR, it is very tricky as there is another panel or mirror(?) inside so it is really hard to check if whether all dust are blown out. So take it easy...

Wow you already have the 17 1.8? I shoot my baby boy (14months old) with my 20mm and the AF is getting too slow for my boy. Wondering if I should change it to 17 1.8 or 25 1.4. I like the 25mm but I'm worried of the rattling sound appearing on videos.
12-35 is out of my budget. I use mostly my 45mm and 20mm for outdoors.. So would 17 1.8 be better for outdoors than 25mm?
With DSLR, you have the mirror and the shutter which is housed inside a deep chamber as compared to the m43 cameras, sensor is just there, plus the dust reduction is very effective. I don't know why you were so worried in the first place, other cameras got anti dust, but the dust just moves from point A to point B to point C to point D. And now I have some sticky dust stuck on my D3's sensor but I can't be bothered to send for cleaning since I usually shoot f4 and 5.6 because of the nature of my job at the moment. And did a studio shot a few weeks back, mainly shot on black background, the dust blends right in even at f11. Only worry is if I have to shoot on grey or white background. I'll send my camera for cleaning early next year hahaha, but I digress
if anyone wants the 25mm , i have that and letting it go.
yes i saw your ad. still considering between the 25mm and 17mm.

Got my lens ! Baby was sleeping so took the photos in a very dark room and had to use iso 6400.
straight out camera jpegs.
the baby shot was so dark i had to MF using some shadow outline and just try my luck.
quite noisy hor, but i feel it's very good for iso 6400. my ep3 iso 2000 already so noisy already always do noise reduction.

yup ! it's the 25mm ! I think will be alot nicer when outdoors !
I haven't checked whether there is a rattling sound. I didn't notice any when taking the photos but I was not using my ears but my eyes then.

There is, but only if pointing from bright light to dim.

For ISO 6400, that's very little noise already.
Nice. Do shoot and post more.
