The size difference would be more dramatic if the lenses were equivalent (the Nikon would have been 80-300mm)

It would have also been F/5.6 , you did say equivalent ?

Something like this:

I am sure these same crew will SWEAR that sigma lens is as sharp wide open as the Olympus. Next they will claim pixels on the sensor affect the glass in the lens. Then they will stammer and get upset when we ask about the resolution difference between the EM5ii and the D800.

The resolution difference is critical and it makes it relatively easy to out resolve even the very best mFT lenses with pretty basic FF lenses. Hence why I am hoping that the new 40mp trick lives up to what I hope it will.

Oh well. People with common sense know the difference between a cheap low quality lens and a well built high quality lens.

The difference is approx. £1200 and joking aside I did specifically say in my post that it is a pity that they do not make high quality slow FF lenses, unfortunately the option seems to be either high price, high end ,fast telephoto zooms or very low end kit level zooms. A middle tier would be nice for those of us who may not need the faster aperture and do not use these long telephotos often enough to justify the size and cost
