Hi Pål, I was looking at those lenses (and a body) more closely and believe they are not as compact as I thought (or was made to believe by their initial announcement some time ago). I thought one of the purposes of the 4/3 system was to create a series of lenses (and bodies) which would be compact and light weight. >From the cursory look, these lenses are large and the mount diameter looks at least as large as the K-mount or maybe even bigger (I could of course be wrong). They look at least past the prototyping stage but do not look like any major hardware changes would be made. Fall announcement of the detail, eh? Cheers, Ken
