Comments on: (UPDATED: FT5) Busted? No 40-150mm f/2.8 coming… http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-busted-no-40-150mm-f2-8-coming/ Panasonic and Olympus Digital Camera News Sun, 19 May 2013 10:52:43 +0000 hourly 1 By: adaptor-or-die http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-busted-no-40-150mm-f2-8-coming/comment-page-1/#comment-252470 adaptor-or-die Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:32:47 +0000 http://www.43rumors.com/?p=35270#comment-252470 never seen the appeal of zoomies .. not when you can use a good prime. My favourite Zuiko glass is the OM 135mm f/2.8 works a treat on OM, e-4:3 and mFT in the latter two it’s 270mm focal equivilent is handy up close and off in the distance. It’s not a big tele, but it’s “sweet spot useful” Tons of Bokeh and DoF, and it’s bright … so if a ZD 135mm came out, that would be a lot more interesting [to me] than a zoomy dust pump! I look at the tiny mFT body with the Zuiko 135mm and compare that to a honking big Canon with one of those white monster primes on it … freaking codpiece.

Maybe setback for many.

Kockwell choose Nikon DX and Nikon 70-200VR is correct choice in my opinion.

However after I looked up sales rankings I think that assumption might be wrong. Still, I don’t think that the bias in the number of reviews towards Panasonic teles (the 45-200 in particular) can be explained by kit sales because Olympus kits with tele lenses don’t look to be hugely popular either (again, judging by relative number of reviews), so I guess there must be another explanation and one that would account for the high similarity of the 45-200 and Olympus 40-150 in terms of features (except OIS) and price…

The OM-D can go the next two years, we need lenses…
