Well aside from the obvious lack of a 20-500 ED zoom, (I'm only 1/2 joking!
;-) . How about a reasonably priced 300-600 zoom? (That's only 2:1, I can't
see why it wouldn't be possible at something like f5-f6) How about a reflex
mirrored 1000mm that doubles as a spotting/telescope?

Think those too outlandish? Well how 'bout just this: Olympus has basically
abandoned zoom lenses for manual cameras prefering to stick to ZLR's. OK,
why can't I buy the 35-180 or 28-110 lenses similar to those in the IS-3
and IS-20 as separate lens barrels for older OM's?
