Zuiko (Olympus) 7-14mm On Its way! :D

[Chillimonster]

Finished the kids bedrooms on time and under budget, so treated myself to the lens i have been waiting for - The 7-14mm Zuiko. Got a good price from Ian (Kerso) so could not resist.

Ultra-wide-angle performance 7-14mm (14-28mm), 1:4.0
10cm minimum working distance (distance from object to front lens) for expanded
shooting capabilities
Large aperture lens combined with world's first double-sided ED glass-moulded
aspherical camera lens of greater than 50mm diameter
Two Super ED and two ED glass elements for absolute minimum chromatic
aberration
Multi-coating process to significantly minimise ghosting and flaring
Splash and dust-proof construction to enhance reliability

Just thought i'd share

Olympus OM-1n and 50mm f/1.4 is all I'll ever have from Olympus, and all I'll ever need. But that lens sounds fantastic!

I've got a roll of fuji colour slide film to put through my OM1, it's been sat in the fridge since i got it though because of the pants weather!

Oly have announced a 25mm 2.8 (I think) pancake lens, that looks an awesome 'normal' lens to carry around.

will be taking a very close look at one of those and a e-420 as a carry-anywhere stealth camera when they are released.
