Olympus specification and sales literature

at 270 grams, able to fully cover the APS-C sensor, I think this may be the smallest, lightest superspeed lens made with a working aperture.  the advantage of the Pen-F lenses (there are a number of very good ones) over rangefinder lenses for the nex is the close focus, which is .35.
