Lenstip should not be taken that seriously. Still, and Lenstip doesn't deny that, the lens is a really good lens as it is. (Which tends to be a general problem of magnifications beyond 1x, but the slow aperture doesn't really help there, especially since we have cameras with focus bracketing to overcome the limitations of too shallo depth of field at least in some cases.) It's also a fact that the slow aperture makes the advertised use of the 2x converter a sheer gimmick with hardly any detail resolution advantage, if at all, at 1x and above. Also we do have to consider, like it or not, that OMDS does not (and, in the foreseeable future, will not) sell as much as Nikon or Canon or Sony, and lower quantities enforce higher prices to break even, it's as simple as that, Genes: The lens *should* have been faster, especially for the price that part of Lenstip's criticism is valid. I agree with that even making it something like 25% cheaper wouldn't attract millions of additional buyers.
