Adding the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 IS lens to my collection of photo gear that has “greatly exceeded expectations” and got so many pre-orders that was of course delayed. If one is to believe all those press releases, the photo industry must be doing great and I wonder why Olympus is selling their camera business.
