GOOD! More for the rest of us!
Although tending to be bigger and heavier than Micro Four Thirds lenses, the
oft-forgotten Olympus SHG line of 4/3rds lenses are among the best lenses ever
made.
The wonderful 35-100/2 was for over a decade, the fastest zoom available — with
performance rivalling prime lenses. The incredible 150/2 rivals the OM 250/2 as
one of the best lenses ever made. And the 50/2 macro, while slow to auto-focus,
rivals the legendary Leica Summicron 50/2, which costs $4,000+.
I managed to get all three of them for less than ONE pro-grade MFT lens!
Small, light lenses just need to be okay. Superb lenses that are big and heavy
are okay, too!
