Serious glass for serious Four Thirds shooters with strong hands and deep pockets.
Shooters committed to the Four Thirds System, take note. Here is Serious Glass. This pro-caliber 70-200mm equivalent zoom ($2,200, street) -- the world's fastest in its focal-length range -- packs four elements of ED glass, one element of Super ED glass, and all-metal construction with rubber seals to keep out moisture and dust.
Conclusions: It's heavy and -- ouch! -- expensive, but it promises optical performance that, in many circumstances (low light with moving subjects, for example), could give a pro a significant competitive edge. Specifications 35-100mm (34.24-93.96mm tested), f/2 (f/1.99- 2.02 tested), 21 elements in 18 groups. Focusing turns 460 degrees counterclockwise. Zoom ring turns 60 degrees clockwise. Focal lengths marked at 35-, 50-, 75-, and 100mm. • Diagonal view angle: 34-12 degrees. • Weight: 4.04 lb. • Filter size: 77mm. • Mount: Olympus AF Four Thirds. • Included: Lenshood, softcase, tripod mount. • Street price: $2,200.
