Strange days, but I do think that PZ should aim to do better than this….
MFT lens reviews are always IMHO very welcome but I would really appreciate a more substantial dedication to this format. The trend goes towards providing a mix of some very superficial blabla (e.g.: “The "R" model is an improved version of the initial 40-150mm” - WHAT exactly has been improved in comparison to the previous version?) with serious resolution figures. Why not mentioning the plastic lens mount and, an exquisite example of “penny-pinching”, the piece of rubber instead of a proper rear lens cap (which is in fact a downgrade coming form the previous model)? Moreover, probably the most pertinent question for MFT shooters is how does this lens compare to the newish Panasonic 45-150, of which a review apparently hasn´t even been scheduled.

The plastic mount is mentioned.
We can't compare it to the 45-150 because we haven't tested it - same goes for numerous lenses from other systems. At the moment there's simply the situation that too many lenses are released so we have to priorities.
