I *so* want one of those, or something like it.


And, yes, the 50-500:

I don't quite see the point of those.  A 10x zoom that goes from modest
telephoto to extreme telephoto?  why? surely the whole point of a wide-range
zoom is to have a complete range of focal lengths from wide to tele in one
lens?  14-140 would be far more useful.  And the 18-50 2.8 isn't that much
cheaper than the DZ 14-54, which, IMO is worth a bit extra for the extra
range.

Those look like useful alternatives to the Oly lenses in that range,
especially with the macro facility, although one might have more working
distance than one would like with the equivalent in OM-terms of a 200 or
300mm lens!
