The super hot lens is the 45-200mm which is now priced at $181 at Amazon (Click here). And is one of the overall most sold system camera lenses at Amazon (here is the ranking). Speaking of the cameras we had so many new mirrorless cameras this year but there is one camera that still remains on the top three of all mirrorless sales at Amazon (Click here to see the ranking). It is again…as you know…the E-PL1!

I think you have wrong descriptions in your links to the deals.
Ugh. I just bought it on Amazon for $199. Do you think they’ll credit me the difference?
Either that, or return it and just suck up the shipping charge.
Why is the price of the 45-200 going down? Admin, any news of a refresh? Or should I go ahead?
Got no news about an update. Go ahead!
Thank you!
It is back to $190
Possibly because of the newer 45-175X lens?
I don’t get how they can charge $700 for that 75-300 f/6.7 lens. It’s so dim…
The 45-200 at Amazon is back to $199 now.
What’s considered the best m4/3 zoom that reaches out to at least 150mm up to 300mm???
The Panasonic 100-300 f/4.0-5.6 gets some good reviews (cheaper and brighter than Oly’s 75-300).
Panasonic 100-300 if you mean 300mm native (cropped).
There is also the Olympus 75-300 but it’s much more expensive and lacks OIS. The Pana is also a bit brighter, but somewhat larger/heavier. You should research both. Note: I don’t have either (*yet* – as I’m myself ruminating over which tele to get).
The Panasonic 100-300mm is pretty good, though a bit soft at the long end. Trying to manually focus it is a real pain. I honestly haven’t been able to determine if the OIS makes much of a difference or not. The Oly 75-300mm isn’t worth the extra $200-$300 and 1-stop slower.
I just got a Nikon ED 300mm f4.5 IF that’s excellent, very sharp with silky smooth focus. It even has an integrated lens hood and tripod mount! It’s pretty heavy, but I use it mostly with a tripod.
I’m not seeing the $181 price on Amazon. Has it changed for others?
I see $199 not $184.
I ended up with the 100-300mm myself after try them all in the store…. I was surprised to see one of the Oly’s had a plastic mount!
I tried the Oly 75-300 at the ‘Focus’ show with my E-P2 and have to say I didn’t find it particularly dim, though I expected it to be just that. Regards the results of using it was very surprised very sharp and easy to use, more than happy to get one if I needed it, though quite happy using my ’50-200mm’ 4/3rd or my ‘200mm’ OM, either with the respective converters.
Was that 45-200mm a lightning sale cause your link says it’s $269 now.
