Value for Money

When the lens becomes available, it will retail for around £999, which seems like rather good value when compared to pro 70-200mm optics from the likes of Nikon & Canon for their 35mm based camera systems.

There are currently no other 70-200mm equivalent f/2.8 zooms available for Micro Four Thirds. The closest equivalent is the Olympus 35-100mm f/2, which has a constant maximum aperture twice as bright as this lens, but lacks image stabilisation and costs a whopping £1910! 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.
