Just picked up the 12-40mm this week with the $100 off…..I am usually a prime guy…but it is nice to have killer image quality at multiple focal lengths all under one hood (WOW..they included the hood, too!!! LOL!). It is big (especially on my E-P5 and E-PL6 bodies)…but it does a lot.. The snap-manual focus ring is great, too. Also, love the L-FN button, too.
Very well designed and implemented product…just hope that mine has no shear factor!? 🙂
What does the L-FN button do on the lens?
You can set it to a number of functions in the menu. Ex : Start focus peaking, depth of field preview, etc.
Ah OK. Thanks. 🙂
Also, don’t forget you can accidentally move the ring and set it to manual focus only. Then you will not realize that the lens is not broken, but will think it stopped autofocusing.
..if you are a noob….
For 2014 and 2015 Olympus should just focus their efforts on delivering 28-35-50-90mm prime equivalents + 2 normal and telezooms that are all fully weather sealed. That would put them ahead of other manufacturers again. We have more than enough m43 camera choices now, thanks.
Olympus already has all of those except it’s a 24mnm-e rather than 28mm-e. The telezoom is coming in the fall. Sounds like they’re already ahead by your standard.
He wants weather sealed versions. I too, personally, would like to see them remake the 12mm , 17mm, 25mm, 45mm all into new “PRO” weather sealed black versions, and maybe make the 17mm a 17.5, and the 45 a 42.5. Faster apertures too, would be nice. Of course the price would go up. They could keep the existing versions as a more budget option. Most manufactures have two or even three sometimes different versions of the same focal length primes, with varying quality and apertures.
I’m okay if the price goes up for the weather sealed Pro versions. That’s to be expected. That range would make for nice options for backpacking and hiking.
“Fully weather sealed.” Weather. Sealed. What’s the point of having weather sealed cameras when there is only one lens to fit on them. That’s as bad as Sony’s system “strategy”.
For….the….love….of….God. Please give me a break and get some refurb 75’s available. You’ve had it listed for over two weeks and now the 12-40 pro but nothing available. If you can’t do that then take down the ad!
The had some last night…I bought a black 75mm refurb for 550 and a 60mm for 319. They both shipped today, just got confirm
Which is awesome but I still keep looking and nothing. I have stayed up as late as 1:30am EST and nothing. Oh well, it wasn’t meant to be.
How the heck do you get $900 off ? Do you have to buy every lens they make ?
Darn it…I already bought all the lenses!!
Nice to live in Europe…..always been ignored/asskicked pay extra/the more for others (North America and Asia) to get it ( technical stuff in general, cams, lens, flash etc.)…..
Congrats for those living in North america and Asia….get tehcnical so cheap but as a pill/price you have to eat “chlor chicken” yum yum….;)
Nice weekend
