Re: Olympus 14-150II: a great travel lens

You may be right.  But bhphoto also lists the 14-150 specs as 13 elements 10 groups and the 14-150 II as 15 elements 11 groups.  Who are we to believe?

But it's a good point about the importance of the lens coating.  Also, incorporating weatherproofing may lead to changes in construction that can produce an imrovement in performance even if the lens elements were the same.  All I can say is that the 14-150 II performs better than I expected, on par or better than two well-regarded consumer-Level narrower-range zoons.
