New Olympus Four-Thirds lenses iminent..

[Chillimonster]

Looks like they are imminent.

Initial prices look to be good.

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD £599.99

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-35mm f/2.0 SWD £399.99

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8-3.5 SWD £740

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 £399.99

These are the initial prices from Park Camera's, But the 12-60 looks like it may be a nice walkabout lens giving an EFL of 24-120mm

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-35mm f/2.0 SWD £399.99

I dont think this one will be so cheap. It is the SHG (Super High Grade) Pro standard zoom. I personally think it would retail for around £750/£800.

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD £599.99

This sounds about right as it would fall under the HG (High Grade) category for the advanced enthusiast/semi pro.

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8-3.5 SWD £740

Nice,...

Overall though,... WOW. Cant wait to get into town and really test the E-510 at the shop.

King.

Sounds good howether I'm still recovering from the shock of spending a lot of money on the camera. May have to wait until christmas.

14-35mm f/2.0?

Now that will be a useful lens for indoor stuff.

aggreed, 28-70 FL at a constant F2 will be very nice to have.

I really think olympus are going to win over a lot of people with their current range of DSLR's and lenses.

They are certainly ticking a lot of the right boxes. It will take time I think to match the might of Nikon and Canon.
