personaly i would go with photozone.de
where as i recall it, they say it gets soft on long tele the conundrum i see is this while its possible to get a quality 4/3 lens for your needs we dont have a complete system in the 3 grades of glass those are the holes to which i refered for market entry types, and while watching forum entries of the C&N brigade they always seem to go for longer lenses, and settle for sigmas when they shudder at the price. They seem happier shoting ducks from 2 miles away. That was why i focussed on something in the order of 20-135 but perhaps there are better strategies perhaps a camera should be marketed either body only, or a choice of lens The L1 is a case in point, where in reality it isnt much larger than LC-1, but people seem to scoff at its bulk. Assuming the OIS lens is mostly the reason why, then why not offer comparable value lenses or different price points and advertise it with the various lens options via imagery. Isnt that the point of a system? I wouldnt be interested in another kit lens, and would much prefer body only. Failing to recognise more appealing customer options might make the logistics chain less complicated but it wont add to the sales balance. If I can get an obscure wide angle video lens from some cat in Verona Italy delivered to my door in 3 days, or a camera from west coast USA, I dont see what the problem would be. Riley |

Usually at first the option comes only as a combo...the body only versions come later on.

Before I bought my E500 I had the C8080. This was a brilliant camera with a stunning 28 - 140mm equivalent lens. If Olympus brought out a version of this (at f2.4 like the 8080) that would be brilliant. The lens served me very well on a holiday in Canada in 2005 - I never really needed anthing else.
Was this a superb lens or was this a superb lens???? |
