I've just been comparing the sizes of lenses, and, apart from the basic
necessity for a bigger lens to make it faster, I'm still amazed at how small
the Zuiko lenses are compared to pretty much every third-party lens I've
got.
What's the secret there? Is it different glass / better design / something
else? I guess what I'm wondering is if Olympus could make their lenses so
small, how come everyone else doesn't? Bodies, sure, are going to be a whole
lot more complex to reduce the size, but lenses?
