I've been wanting a smaller, lighter kit to carry around when I am away from 
home.  I just received a Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 Macro lens to pair with my E-510.  
The 510 is light, as DSLRs go, and the lens weighs less than 6oz, so the 
combination is the best I've found since I retired my Leica IIIf.

This image is about 15% of the 4/3 frame, and is shown to illustrate, IMHO, 
that there is good reason for this lens to be described as "sharp".  After 
just a few hours, I think it has found a home.
