Olympus ZUIKO Super High Grade Lenses: from 7-14mm F4.0 for $1500 to 300mm F2.8 for $8000.

When I was looking for those excellent lenses I was thinking that its users never change Olympus SLR to Canon’s or Nikon’s. But it’s interchangeable lens series for professionals. In my opinion Olympus SLRs such as E410, E510 or previous models (excepting old E1) are not pro cameras. And developed for more advanced optical, precision technology and exquisite picture quality these lenses are much more expensive than SLR cameras. From other side I remember what pleasure I had while shooting with Sony’s 300mm F2.8 for $5999. In any case these devices are worthy of special attention.
