  • Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 ED SWD Zuiko Digital

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    image quality, weather sealing, size, build quality, fast focus

    This lens was one of the reasons for me to go back to Olympus after having switched to Pentax last year. For me there is nothing to compare it with, the image quality couldnt really be much better for a Zoom lens, it is weather sealed, the focus is fast and accurate on the E-3, and thanks to the SWD engine absolutely silent. It is expensive, yes...but it's absolutely worth it's money.

  • Olympus 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ED SWD Zuiko Digital

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    image quality, build quality, extremely fast focus, weather sealing

    After a small problem with my 14-54 I i decided to get a 12-60 SWD for my E-3...best decision i could have made. It is very universal to use, has great image quality, is weather sealed (important for me because i have the camera with me in any weather). Yes it is expensive, but seeing how awesome it performs it's definately not overpriced. The extremely fast and silent focussing is another big plus.
