The Olympus 14-35 is certanley an opticaly verry good lens but it’s way to heavy and the focus is a nightmare.
I got the lens for 2 years but actualy never used it….

I’m sure the Panasonic will be much nicer, with OIS and light weight!

It’s kinda crazy how western civilization is going through this recession. China did a great job of undercutting the competition to the point that we outsourced everything through them.

that’s hard to believe. but i will wait. however, i would like the zuiko 14-35 f2 for my e-5.

plus, i like the mechanical connection of the focus ring for pulling focus on my gh2 when shooting video.

it just seems like the lens to get for my current needs. but i will take your advice and wait and see. hopefully olympus will drop the price when the panasonic hits the market.

i gotta admit, the gh2 sensor seems to handle high ISO better than the e-5, but in good light and particularly sunny conditions, i much prefer the colors and highlight control of the e-5. i don’t know why it is, but for stills, i prefer the e-5. for video, the gh2 obviously. i shoot strictly in RAW on both.

How depressing, no wonder Europe is in a recession, we can’t afford to buy products as they are so over priced!
