@R Butler – it’s hard to do tongue-in-cheek equivalent without tags. Field of view equivalent is understood by most I think, but then there are those who want to multiply or divide, usually divide,...

Apparently the Equivalent magic wand works like this:

A 75mm f1.8 lens magically has different specs when placed on different camera bodies. You would think that this lens would remain a 75mm f1.8...

Equivalency apparently means different things to different people at different times. I come from 135 and 2 1/4 film mostly. I'm not interested in what a full frame sensor does at this point. The...

A simple experiment might help illuminate the aperture/equivalency discussion relating to 4/3 and m4/3 systems.

I took a 40-150 f3.5/4.5 zoom, set it to about 135mm, set the camera to Aperture ...

Actually, if it is a 12-35 on a m4/3 body, it is the focal length equivalent of a 24-70 on the m4/3 body and would be a 12-35 on a Full Frame body. In either case it is f2.8.

For example, the...

I’m not planning to trade in my Olympus gear any time soon but I do get it. Impressive. Leica has a very elegant solution here. Thank you DPR for the preview!

Based on the Robin Wong piece, I’d score the OM-D at 92%. As far as I’m concerned, the IBIS puts the OM-D at the head of the pack. The detail of the level of customization and the range of the lens...

OM-D E-M5 makes sense to me. Out of the box it's a new piece that is part of a complete and well conceived system.

OM-D, OM form factor + electronic viewfinder. E-M5, Evolt + Micro lenses +...

Viewfinder and weatherized body probably. A "pro" m4/3? 16mp might imply a possible future e50 would be the same.

If Olympus is comparing this lens to the SHG line, it probably signals a "pro" MFT body with a new sensor that has a much higher working ISO range is in the works. Sounds like Olympus might be...
