So you were expecting someone here to explain to you how to make your own small, fast, wide AF'ing lens? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]



Of course not. I was hoping that someone could point out to me a lens that I missed. As you can see in the OP I made a research before posting and came out with several options that each was "flawed" in some aspect. I posted my question in hope that someone will say: "Hey, you forgot lens X which answers all your requirements".

Ok then get the Panasonic 7-14 for mFT. Small, sharp, wide lens with AF that you can match with a small mFT body from either Panasonic or Olympus. Lots of body choices there and money is not an issue, right? Or is that also ergonomically or in some other way unsound? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]



Before the SLT era I was torn between the MFT options. The EP series had AS but lacked in AF, had no EVF and was too small. The G/GH series was perfect in most aspects but had no AS. And in addition, all options were lacking because of high ISO limitation (small sensor). So I waited.



Then came SLT and all my answers were answered. It had practically everything I wished for. So I rushed out and bought it, completely forgetting why I rejected the Rebel series in the first place. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Today I know that all small cameras are not for me, but the price of this learning will be high. As it turns out, there is zero interest in a used A33 so when I sell it eventually I will lose a lot of money. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
