I'm glad to see a new telephoto zoom from Olympus at an affordable price point, but I'd rather see a micro 4/3 version of the spectacular Olympus 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 zoom originally designed for the 4/3 DSLRs. I still use the 50-200mm on micro 4/3 bodies via the Olympus MMF-2 adapter, but I want that lens as a native micro 4/3 lens with MSC focusing.

I took this shot a couple years ago with the Olympus E-PL1 and 50-200mm lens with adapter:

I don't think that shallow DOF would have been possible at f/6.7.
