I'll speak for CH. The 180/2.8 he uses on his Canon 10D is the OM-System Zuiko
lens.
Olympus doesn't offer anything like the 180/2.8 for the E-1 right now. An
E-System 85-90mm "fast macro telephoto" is planned for a 2005 introduction,
which will be the same perspective as a 180 on the OM cameras. I'll bet the
new lens will be an f/2.0.
FOC = Free of Charge

>> Hi,

>> Wow! I love your photographs. I am pretty sure that crw_7497, crw_7501

>outstanding.
>> The way leafs are outlined but also blurred at the same time in

>> Thank you for your ideas. Maybe, it would be a good idea to buy only

>> I am pretty sure I won´t find it here in Spain.
