Pen Pals

Unless they get too big for themselves, this is where you can talk about the "other" brands of DSLR's: Konica Minolta / Sony, Pentax / Samsung, Olympus, Horseman, etc.

Directly from the press release ...

Olympus Press release wrote:Olympus Imaging Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of two new telephoto zoom lenses to the continually-growing lens system for Olympus’ new generation of PEN digital cameras: the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm f4.8–6.7 and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40–150mm f4.0–5.6.

Designed to maximise the performance and compact-size advantages of the Olympus PEN System, both new lenses provide uncompromising SLR quality imaging performance and feature Olympus’ proprietary MSC* lens drive technology. With the introduction of these two new lenses, the Olympus PEN lens range now provides focal length options from an ultra-wide 18mm to a super-telephoto range of 600mm (in the 35mm film format)


300mm, f/6.7 ? Just as well these are MILCs. I'm not sure how well an optical viewfinder would handle that sort of lens.

I think they will struggle with these when the Panasonic 45-200 is available. Shame that all m43 lenses are so expensive!

Nikon - all gone. Now I’m with a Pen EP-1 and EP-2. 17mm on the EP-1 with 17mm optical viewfinder and the EP-2 with the 14-42mm and VF-2 electronic finder. RRS L brackets on both bodies and I still have my Sigma 105mm macro and Nikon f/1.4 Ai lens with a micro 4/3rds adaptor. Oh! I also have the Pen FL14 flash which is only just OK.

Pen EP-1 bought from Ted’s and the EP-2 from B&H (NY).

Must say I’m stoked.

Still love Nikon but got just too heavy for these old bones.
