Re: New Olympus Patent: 400mm f4.0 MFT Lens
Exactly. So in what way does it "take away one of the main selling points of the MFT system - portability"?
Yes, it's big. But it is still considerably than the equivalent for 35mm format would be (if it were ever available), and you wouldn't need to use it except for specialised purposes. It isn't taking anything away from anyone or anywhere. John |

Re: New Olympus Patent: 400mm f4.0 MFT Lens
Good evening,
So guys any ideas what the rumored zoom will be from Olympus F/L wise, size, filter size etc???? Will it be in the Pro lens lineup? Is it to be a direct opponent to the Panasonic 100-400??

Re: New Olympus Patent: 400mm f4.0 MFT Lens
The 'Simon' that leaked details for a long zoom to be announced early next year (for an end of 2019 production) said it will be 150-400mm F4.0-5.6. See what Bassman51 wrote above for a possible filter size.

Re: New Olympus Patent: 400mm f4.0 MFT Lens
If Olympus made a 150-400mm lens as f4.5-5.6 instead, can it be made around the same size as the Panasonic 100-300mm f4-5.6? At least the same length (with an extending zoom, of course) if a bit fatter?

It may be larger than the PanaLeica 100-400 F4-6.3 lens
