Absolutely ! But I'm unlikely to buy a PL 200/2.8 any time soon.Love this!
It would be very interesting to see a comparison between the Zuiko 150/2 and the PL 200/2.8.

I fully agree, the 2.8/200 is a too much speciality lens! Same is actually true for the 2/200 Fuji X lens, too much speciality lens and too expensive.Absolutely ! But I'm unlikely to buy a PL 200/2.8 any time soon.
Put the 1.4x TC on the 150/2 and you got a superb 210/2.8.Absolutely ! But I'm unlikely to buy a PL 200/2.8 any time soon.
The 150/2 is a specialty lens too, which is why it would be nice to see them compared. The price of a used 150/2 plus a used E-M1 II is similar to a new PL 200/2.8, so it's a relevant comparison. The advantage for me going for an E-M1/150mm would be that I still have the PL 14-50mm in 4/3 mount, a lens that nowadays also works best on E-M1 bodies.I fully agree, the 2.8/200 is a too much speciality lens!

The Olympus 4/300 sits actually at the boarder for me WRT price/performance and what one really needs - especially for such a small sensor.
I hear you Jorgen! And I understand your desires. But in your case I would be careful with Olympus EM1 or EM1.2, as you seem not to get easy friends with their menu implementation ....The 150/2 is a specialty lens too, which is why it would be nice to see them compared.

Hmmm... we'll see what happens tomorrow and at Photokina
The latest news has it that ... (L4) Sigma rumored to develop a new L mount camera too!I hear you Jorgen! And I understand your desires. But in your case I would be careful with Olympus EM1 or EM1.2, as you seem not to get easy friends with their menu implementation ....
I for myself have found I want to start again and spend my budget on FF (mirrorless) and so the next few days will show hopefully a lot of possibilities.
Nikon - several advantages as well known operation and a great Z-mount
Panasonic - if that L-mount is coming true and is as flexible as I anticipate and hope (usability of M glass without too much IQ loss) then that would be obviously my thing
Sony - if they finally decide to make their bodies larger that would be a perfect system for me
Canon - if they decide to get rid of their unacceptable 4K implementations that could also become interesting
So yes, tomorrow is really one of these days .....
If FF that would indeed be interesting ....The latest news has it that ... (L4) Sigma rumored to develop a new L mount camera too!
A new generation of nuclear weapons ? ? ? I hope you have a sherpa to carry these "weapons" :ROTFL::ROTFL:https://www.dpreview.com/articles/3...-and-xf-8-16mm-f2-8?ref_=pe_1674010_132618830
Bart, it seems the Fujifilm XF 200mm F2 is competing with little tuna. :grin:
It certainly is similarly shaped, fairly short but massive.
Cost: Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Lens with XF1.4X TC F2 Teleconverter Kit about $6k
I paid a little over $2k for my little tuna. Taking adapter and TCs into account about half price.
