Thats a quiet silly collection of lenses you picked there, to jack the weight up for the Canon set <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I guess you could have also chosen a lighter standard zoom and tele zoom and end up one kilo lighter <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

[/quote]Well those are the lenses I had! To get below 27-28mm with a standard zoom and to get to ~500mm reach with good sharpness and build, I am not sure what else there is or was at the time for APS-C?
Sure, people have commented on my lens choice before, but that is what works for me. I am not interested in both a normal and an ultrawide zoom - my ideal standard zoom would be the Olympus 22-44mm equivalent, but it doesn't exist for micro 4/3. Likewise, I don't find the standard 70-200 range long enough on APS-C or 4/3, thus the larger/heavier lens.
