I've been using mFT cameras for about 18months but still only have my toes in the water. What keeps me from jumping are the missing lenses.. For myself, I would like to see a 105mm Macro that uses the AF and some close focusing telephoto lenses (~ .3X or better, like the FT 70-300mm lens). I would also like a wildlife lens, something like a 200-400mm F/4 or even F/5.6... These desires might be met if Sigma and/or Tamron would jump into mFT with both feet .......... Would I buy these lenses? The 105mm macro if the price is in the ballpark with current 105mm lenses for other systems. A 40-200mm (or in that range) again at a price not too much more than the current versions and depending on how good it is at the long end. ... The 200-400 depending on how expensive and how heavy it gets....

Announced telephoto and super-telephoto lenses that will be released this year:

  • Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8
  • Olympus 300mm f/4
  • Panasonic 150mm f/2.8
