Can the E-520 be far behind? I was just thinking about the E-410 or
E-510 as being a very good walk-around camera but needing some short
primes so I was very pleased to see the 25mm prime. On the other hand,
I was very disappointed to see it was only f/2.8. I would have expected
an f/2 optic to match the commonplace 50mm lenses of old. One would
also hope there's a 12 or at least 14mm in the works.
