Look at the Olympus 150mm ?/2 E Series lens (300mm equivalent), compared to the
Canon 300mm ?/2.8 IS lens. With the same angle of view, the Olympus lens, for
the 4/3rds system, is:
1. One whole stop faster.
2. Four inches shorter (6 inches vs. 10 inches).
3. One inch less in diameter.
4. Much lighter (3.4 lb. vs. 6 lb.).
5. $1,700 less expensive.
And I'll bet Michael a sushi dinner that the Olympus lens would test better in
a direct comparison on the optical bench, too.
But we already knew that...
