Re: fully agree In reply to dermicha, Jun 7, 2011  Are you
comparing apples with apples with your lens comments?  Even
though a lot of the Oly lenses are weather sealed, the Oly 'mid
range and most of the SHG range extend when zooming and many
have a aperture 'range' (3.5 - 5.6 for example, not fixed).
Nikon's new range of mid range zooms also extend, but they are
cheaper and the new G series are now weather sealed.  What does
Oly have in the 'non extending range' and how does the price of
the SHG Oly stuff compare? From memory, when you talk Oly 'pro'
gear, they sit in the same size and price range as the Nikon, if
not larger/more expensive. For example, the 14-35 is bigger and
larger than the Canon equivalent and it still extends when
zooming (not to mention the myriad of focus issues they've had
with it), so the 4/3 size and price benefit goes out of the
window when you're talking SHG O
