What I find bewildering is how anyone can say this lens is expensive when you consider what it can do and how it compares to primes lenses in it's focal length.
The 12-35mm F2.8 is a an excellent constant aperture zoom that does exactly what it should do and does it very well, it isn't cheap, it's never going to be cheap, it's a premium lens - end of story.
I think it's easy to look at its size and expect the price to match this. Compared to it's exact Nikon FF counterpart, the 24-70 f2.8 VR it is indeed a bargain.
Exactly.
But in actual, rather than relative, terms, it still costs enough that we want to be sure it is good enough before spending the money.
I think there has been a wealth of evidence here on the m4/3's forum to suggest it is. There is also the dedicated flickr group here where you will find plenty of great examples.
I'd be interested to see a comparison of the 12-35 on OMD agains the 24-70 on a Nikon D700 or D600. A comparison of image quality and a comparison of total cost.
Why would you want to do that? if you want what they offer you are better off just buying them. Comparing lenses on different formats and different cameras is a pointless exercise IMHO. All I need to know is what any respective lens can do on a specific body, I guess YMMV.
