Imaging Resource interviewed the makers of the Olympus 150-400mm PRO lens. IR writes:

The M.Zuiko 150-400mm F4.5 IS PRO is a true landmark in lens design, with a remarkable combination of zoom reach, optical quality, image stabilization performance, weather resistance and compact, lightweight portability. It’s a powerful example of the benefits that Micro Four Thirds systems from the newly-named OM Digital Solutions Corporation bring. Every system has its particular advantages, and there are certainly areas where full-frame cameras will carry the day. If you’re a wildlife or sports shooter, though, it’s hard to argue with the sheer optical quality and zoom reach that the OM Digital 150-400mm PRO provides, in an extraordinarily compact, lightweight and highly weather-resistant package. As I said at the outset, it actually looks like a bargain, even at its lofty $7,500 selling price.
