Just bend over for that E-System extension tube, if you want it bad enough.
I've got one on my to-buy list for the ZD 50-200/2.8, but I just haven't gotten
around to ordering it. Me too thinks it's a bit high priced; but most camera
makers put premium prices on their new systems for early adopters, that's the
way of the commercial world. Olympus' prices aren't out of control, like
Leica, only on the high side. At least E-System componants deliver quality and
results, which is more than I can say for some of Leica's R products over the
years.
So I can smile when I'm getting shaken down!
