Hi Guys,
I'm wondering if there is a zoom lens, usually 14-42mm, that could be declared the best lens for use with M4/3?
Olympus have their 14-42's which include mk I and II and I believe that Panasonic have their 14-42 also? What I'm looking for is the lens with the best resulting image quality, speed of focus, etc. It doesn't have to be 14-42, as Olympus have now added their 12-50 to the list, but at an extra $800 on top of the cost of the lens, I wouldn't put this on the list because in my opinion it is waaay too expensive, although its results may prove it worthwhile?
Looking at this zoom style of lens, we are of course looking for a 'whatever we see' type of lens and it must be able to work seamlessly with wet diopters to enhance its macro capabilities. . .
What do you think guys, what lenses are out there, leica, panasonic, olympus, zeiss, maybe a new ddition to the list from Sigma?
I own and currently use the Olympus EPL-2 in the Olympus housing and have the 45mm Pana macro lens to back up my OEM 14-42 zoom, I'm going to upgrade to the EPL-5 and Olympus housing and to the 60mm Olympus macro, but where do i go for the BEST all-purpose zoom for the micro 4/3 system. . . any ideas guys, but please explain why you like your choice???
Thanks for taking the time fellas,
Bruce
