Anyone Else Wanting Oly MZ 9-18 DPReview?

[Paul Rahoi]

I'm interested in u4/3 and my first priority is a wide angle lens for landscapes. Two choices: The expensive but pro-level Panasonic 7-14, or....the (hopefully) soon to be released Olympus MZ 9-18. Is the difference between these 2 lenses worth the cost difference? I would love to see a review of BOTH lenses, but understand that DPReview tends to only review lenses which are moderately affordable (i.e. up to maybe $600 - $700). But I believe the Oly MZ 9-18 just qualifies.

ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SEE A REVIEW OF THE OLY MZ 9-18?

If so, speak up. Maybe, just maybe, someone from DPReview will take note.

Already having the Panasonic 7-14, which was too expensive (less now) but goes wider (7 vs. 9 mm), my interest is only academic.

Be interested in a comparison twixt m4/3 and regular 4/3 versions of this lens, as I already have regular 4/3 which I use on both E-P2 and E-30.

Yes! I'm really on the fence about this lens and a reliable review would be very helpful.

... I am waiting for a Sigma 8-16mm preview/review too: I still shoot on Nikon/Fujifilm sometimes, and this lens might be suitable for both systems (Nikon F - micro 4/3).

Ciao!

OK, here's the deal.

50 votes and I'll review it.
75 and I'll throw in tests on the 7-14/4.

Fair?
