Looks great on the camera when its "folded away" but then out comes this telescope contraption which makes it look cheap and nasty. Then you have to fold it away again. <br />I wonder about the longevity of something like this. <br /><br />The new 9-18 does look a bit better and its quite light but its still got this extending thing going on.<br /><br />One of the nice things about the Panasonic 7-14 is its WYSIWYG.Though the large bulbous element does move backwards and forwards. Also since there's no way to get a protection filter on it I do fear for its safety sometime.Soundimageplushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853024393355399820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709537690528523236.post-76504459629974768632010-02-22T01:49:44.560+10:002010-02-22T01:49:44.560+10:00Olympus can indeed create some magnificient lenses...Olympus can indeed create some magnificient lenses, but for whatever reason, they have decided to make some me too lenses. Where are the small and FAST primes? With the micro 4/3's extremely short lens register, they can make 25mm (50mm-e) f1.0 lens with little trouble if they want to. But none of the primes Olympus makes so far are fast then f2.8. <br /><br />It's time that Olympus need to wake up and be different. Make something that nobody else has differentiate themselves from the me-too crowd.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.com
