next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Guest - 07-11-2011 Yardstick already laid down by Leica 14-150 f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens. I am most surprised the Oly lens does not even come close. next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Klaus - 07-11-2011 It's less than half the price ... next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Klaus - 07-11-2011 Fwiw, the Pana 14-140 cannot match the Leica either based on what I have seen in the field - worse corners and long end. next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Yakim - 07-11-2011 [quote name='thw' timestamp='1310361895' post='9896'] Yardstick already laid down by Leica 14-150 f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens. I am most surprised the Oly lens does not even come close. [/quote] I am not. Most consumers of such a lens will probably value the lower weight and lower price of the Oly much more. next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Yakim - 07-11-2011 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1310232863' post='9871'] I'm using the Leica 14-150 via adapter and I will either get the Pana 7-14 or Oly 7-14 soon. Plus the Oly 45. [/quote] This is exciting news. Can you give a rough estimate when we can see a 45/1.8 test online? next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Klaus - 07-11-2011 [quote name='Yakim' timestamp='1310373971' post='9902'] This is exciting news.

Kind of a large lens for a small body but pleasing speed/optics. next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Brightcolours - 07-11-2011 [quote name='you2' timestamp='1310379622' post='9906'] The leica lens is $1700 and then you need an adapter <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> - Maybe one day oly will release the 14-55 or 12-60 with native micro 4/3 mount.

Apparently, Olympus say that "big optics" pose fundamental problems, in that contrast detect AF with its many small steps creates a problem (my guess is in AF speed) that they have "capitulated". next PZ lens test report: Olympus M.Zuiko 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED - Klaus - 07-11-2011 [quote name='Brightcolours' timestamp='1310380433' post='9907'] Not sure if that 12-60mm in MFT form will happen...

[/quote] I doubt so. The Pana 100-300 or Oly 75-300 are also fairly "big" - bigger than an Oly 12-60 - and their inner focusing path is quite long. Most of the high speed AF lenses have a rear-focusing system thus only the smallest aka the most light-weight lens groups are moved. Sony has also announced a standard G zoom lens for 2012 so this should also be possibly for MFT. |
