Yeah, for the tiny GF2 around the corner?
I’m in for the 100-300 – after an 18 months wait!
Seriously, all the specs are good, and DPreview positive,
so no more whining about price – we’re into m43 for the
compact leading edge technology and superb performance.
It looks like prices in the UK will, initially, be around £350, which does seem rather expensive, more than the Canon 28mm f1.8 for instance. However the MTF curves do suggest that image quality will be at a high level.
I wonder which is the most expensive lens in the world in £ € or $ per gram?
I think some Leica lenses are at about £10/g but the Panasonic, at about £6.30 /g must be pretty high on the list.
Truly less is (i.e. costs) more.
FT= FourThirds
FT1=probably fake rumor
FT2=rumor from unkown sources
FT3=50% chance it is correct
FT4=rumor from known sources
FT5=almost certainly correct!

Why is it even more expensive than the 20mm pancake?

3D $249
14mm $399
100-300mm $599
Quite reasonable in my book
