I would also agree with John's statement above. I think that this is
another area where Olympus has let us down - the 24 shift is too expensive
and the 35 is not quite wide enough in a lot of situations where you need
shift. It would have been nice to have a 28 shift (as per Nikon) in the
Zuiko lineup, at an in-between price - I'm even sure Olympus would have
made more money out of this. I wonder how many 24 shifts have they sold?
Cheers
