"In other words they aren't taking advantage of the format, They're still
selling 35mm lenses on a sub 35mm format. It's nice to have a longer lens
but you can already do that with Nikon, Canon, and soon with Pentax. I
thought it was all about smaller, lighter, (less expensive), kit for the
equivalent of your 35mm system. I don't see that with the Olydak." Well,
Peter, I didn't mean it that way. I thought the Oly 300/2.8 is designed to
project the entire image onto the sensor, not just the middle 50 percent of
the image. When I said "equivalent to 600mm," I meant "in magnification."
But I see your point: If the rear glass can be much smaller, why is the
front "full size"?
