hi, just a newbie here with dslrs.
i recently acquired an oly system with 14-45mm kitlens.
i am about to get the standard mid-telephoto which is the zuiko 40-150mm lens, but i was surprised to see that there are two variants of this lens.
one is the 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 and the other is f4-5.6
the f3.5 is an older, and longer in size, and is already out of production.
while the f4 is a compact size and with ED lens.
could you guys help me out which one is a better lens?
coz if i base on the apertures of both lenses, the older lens seems to be a faster lens. but i just thought, zuiko would not be releasing a newer model for nothing isnt it?
any feedbacks from actual users of these lenses would be highly appreciated. like anybody else, i would like to have a good lens that is fast and sharp.
thanks!
