For the people who do concern on long and fast tele, Olympus did get
the right way, they use smaller CCD and the lens can be much smaller
even at the same speed. Just like the 3x adapter for E-10/20, it make
a 420/2.8 equivalent to 35mm. We can wait and see what lenses will
come up next year with Olympus digital SLR system. What I need is
affordable long-fast lenses (both weight and cost), not the
multi-thousand dollars giant. I can't even afford the 180/2, 250/2 and
350/2.8. I don't like just watch and see I like to own them... may be
a 180/2 in less than 1K (g and $).
