Here's the problem. For Olympus to give us a 28mm lens
capability, the actual lens construction will have to be
that of a 17.5mm (assuming a 1.6 magnification factor,
insert the proper one if you want precise results). As
we all know, making quality wide angle lenses is difficult
and involves many more elements. This is one of the main
reasons why people are so interested in full-frame DSLRs.
The new Olympus DSLR will be fine from 45mm on up, but it
will be interesting to see what happens below that.
