I want this lens SO badly but I'm sure it will be between $1000 and $1500 and after just having purchased my OM-D and 2 lenses, the budget doesn't exactly allow for it right now. Can't wait to see images from this beauty.

Hmmm. It seems much smaller than I thought it would be, especially in the front. This might not impress the chicks as much as a pro-level 70-200 equiv. should. ;-)

This lense will complete my kit.....maybe.

It will mine, I can't wait for it!!

Funny thing is, I came across this yesterday:



It was posted here on July 19 and the pic is from July 3rd!

I'm sure that was a prototype. Looks like it was at some sort of trade show.

Would be real sweet if the barrel doesn't extend as you zoom. Like the 70-200s.

Does the 12-35mm? I'd say it's safe to base it off of that.

The great thing about an EVF is that you can be chimping all you want and no one will know.

Yes and yes.

Looks like it does extend to me...going by what the 12-35 looks like at the end of the barrel.
