Value For Money

When the lens becomes available, it will retail for around £999, which puts in in line with pro 24-70mm zooms from other manufacturers for other systems.

There are currently no other 24-70mm equivalent f/2.8 zooms available for Micro Four Thirds. The closest equivalent is the Olympus 14-35mm f/2, which has a constant maximum aperture twice as bright as this lens, but lacks image stabilisation and costs a whopping £1799. This Olympus lens would need to be used with an adapter on a Micro Four Thirds body and is much more bulky than the lens reviewed here.
