Thank you Rick
Which is? I think I've seen you tease that like 3x now...Thank you Rick
There are several sellers on eBay with ratings at 98% who have this lens under 1000 $ and NOT shipping from Asia (extra cost for duties)
and yes I am very pleased by this because I was able to verify that the unknown, hardly ever talked about fact about one of the specs of this lens was true
IF there are used copies. Was looking the other day and surprised there were NO used copies on eBay.
Yes I am not surprised that the one who got one are not really thinking of selling it or getting a better zoom (cause there is not one ;-)
Well, you're not playing fair if you end up buying any lens you lust after...
Yes looking at the Olympus road map I am pretty sure that Olympus is going to bring its own 50-200mm or something very similar .
No I have not , I bought the 50/200mm for a trip to Africa in February of last year. I did not think I would like it so much.
yes it is even difficult to find in Europe
Time to sell !!This is going to be a little off topic, but how can you grab your m43 body when you have FF systems ?Hello Jim
Indeed it is
Micro 4/3, sony 35mm, Nikon z ... You seem to have lots of equipment
For me I never felt the need to have so many different systems
Between the FujiX system and GR3, my m43 is collecting dust at the moment, even though I have the finest Pane Leica lenses
OK, I'm taking the bait. What's that infamous criteria? The sexy name perhaps?
NOPE
You mean Pana-Leica is cheating us out of 3-4mm? Scandalous, ask for a refund! Then again, I would have thought specifying a focal length should by now be more of a science than an art, especially if you go to the extent of going down to a 0,5mm precision. Have you found the same in other lenses?NOPE
The BIG thing which is a game changer is the fact that the NOCTICRON focal length is not an 85mm equivalent ! It is significantly wider which is going to be a big help for my most frequent work shooting models
I am going to run some more tests this week to try to pin it down but if i had to guess I would say that the real FOV is probably 81mm or 82mm
Have you tried shorter models?it may not seem like much but when you are shooting models full length and/or models in small rooms it does make a huge difference...
You don’t get it. It means m4/3 users have more focal length options than what the specs sayYou mean Pana-Leica is cheating us out of 3-4mm? Scandalous, ask for a refund!NOPE

I am sure it is supposed to be ironic but even with shorter models the wider angle is going to helpThen again, I would have thought specifying a focal length should by now be more of a science than an art, especially if you go to the extent of going down to a 0,5mm precision.

Heh, well up to three weeks ago or so, I thought pigs would fly before I ever bought the 200mm lens. No way I ever would have bought it at the regular price of $3K or even the holiday sales price of $2.5K. I'm still a bit shocked to have acquired it. This and the Nocticron are the only lenses for which I've paid more than $1K, and that was a gray market lens at $1,150, IIRC.

That one’s on my list too,
