I think you'll find that the Cosina Voigtlander lenses are bit as good as
Zuikos. They spent a lot of time on them. I haven't seen tests on the
Konica lenses, but if the lens on the fixed-lens Hexar is any indications,
they will approach the Leica quality too.

Thanks for the tip, Doris; I didn't know anything about these new lenses.
Actually, there are two main reasons I am considering Olympus. One is how
small and light they are; the main one is the reputation for optical
quality. I doubt that Konica optics would be up to Oly (or Leica
standards). Do you disagree?
Thanks again
