Thank you for the article, Tomoko. I must have missed it in the earlier
posting. The absence of aperatures in the view finder and slow synch speeds
without the F280 are the major "negative" criticism in the POP Photo article.
I have heard the same mentioned on the list as something to be added to the
wish list. 

<<"Finally, here's a hot tip from our lens expert: although the OM Zuiko lens
line is
inconsistent and their worst lenses mediocre,...">> 

This suprised me. I have always heard that the Zuiko's were consistently good
through out the line. Besides the macro lens, from discussions on the list,
high praise has been given to the 50 f1.8, 85 f2, 100 f2.8, 180 f2, 200 f4 and
300 f4.5.  I picked up a 28 f3.5 used and was disappointed, but assumed the 28
f2 or f2.8 would be better. How about the wider angles? I would be interested
some feedback on this quote.
