Anyone getting? :bigeyes:
Looks very tempting.
Try to find compatible lens first.
Looking at the ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses blow my mind away!!!
Imagine a 600mm f2.8 equivalent lens (the MTF charts is similar to that of a L lens) and also comes with filter accesories. Ah but beware yah, the front is a staggering 120mm, where to buy B+W UV filters???? But again, if you can afford this lens, you can afford that. This baby is a staggering 3kg (sama sama with the Sigma 50-500???)
Other lenses include (35mm equiv - divide by 2 for actual mm):
1) 22-44 f2.8-3.5
2) 28-108 f2.8-3.5 (only 400+ grams)
3) 100-400 f2.8-3.5 (only 1 kg)
4) 100 f2 macro (a featherly 300 grams for handholding macro )
To sweeten the deal, couple with a 1.4x TC with the 600mm f2.8 to get 960mm f4.... :sweat: or if they ever release a 2x TC, a salivating 1200mm f5.6
Oh did I mention that you can take pics of butterfly's eyelashes when you combine the macro with the 25mm extension tube...
Even the lens bag looks a lot better than my canon's irritating grey drawstring racksack...
Canon wake up lah, bo wah ai wa xiong ke liao (else I change system liao :bsmilie: )

Well, next year is Canon's 70th anniversary, do expect new updated range of lenses, printers at PMA 2004, new bodies as well.
