If that is the final spec, the 35-100mm f/2.8 would be my cup of tea!

These aren't power zoom lenses right? So I take it those are OIS on/off switches on the side? If that's the case, these bad boys will have working OIS with Olympus bodies! I got my eye on that 35-100!

They are Mega OIS switches!

I can't remember if these will be fixed length lenses?

What do you mean by fixed-length lenses? You mean a prime lens?

Perhaps he meant lenses that dont extend when zooming. Like the Canon 24-70L/24-105L

Or I may be wrong

The 35-100 barrel looks like it will extend. I bet they are both internal focusing though.

I would love to trade my 40-150 for the 35-100, but I'll need to see prices.

But first I would get rid of my kit lens and my 20mm and buy the 12-35mm to replace both.
