Yeah, but this is a zoom... an f/2.0 zoom... That's a bit different
don't you think? A bit *more* of an achievement I'd say.
The fact that the 14-35 outperforms in *real* terms (final output on
quarter-area sensor) the Leica M 28mm f/2.0 ASPH at f/2.0 is more than
just a little significant.
I just didn't know these SHG Olympus zooms were this world-beating good.
For most aspects of my style (centering on pretty shallow DOF, as you
know) this system is not great, but if one ignores that for the moment,
these lenses are reason enough to put up with all the problems and
uncertainty of the system methinks :-)
