But imagine such a situation: Canon, Nikon or Pentax decide to produce special version of their DSLR called "Sports and Nature". They pack it with 4/3 CCD sensor so it got 2x multiplication factor. Now your FA* or EF L 300/2.8 becomes 600/2.8. And you know what? It is still similar size to Olympus 300/2.8, although these lenses (for 35 mm) can do circle of light suitable for 35 mm! That's why I say, that these lenses presented by Olympus aren't as small as they could be, taking in consideration, that they produce smaller circle of light.

And this is second problem of 4/3 system. > I'll ask again: who else has signed on to produce 4/3 hardware? At first it was Kodak only who joined Olympus, but I've never heard of anyone else who would like to participate in this project. -- Best Regards Sylwek
