> Yesterday I was at a soccer match and one of the players asked me to take
some shots for him of the players during a break using his camera (he wanted
to finish off the film in the camera). The camera was a Contax 139 with a
28mm f2 Carl Zeiss lens. I was amazed at the size of the lens, which
(without exageration) was about the same size as the Zuiko 135mm f2.8 ! Why
would this lens need to be so large ?

Yes, it has to be very large, otherwise no one will notice you are holding a
lens cost over $1000. Same case for the Contax 21/2.8, it is three times
larger than Zuiko 21/2 :-)
