I'm looking to get a zoom lens for my Olympus micro four-thirds body that I can use when traveling. So, it needs to go from wide angle to a fair amount of telephoto and not be too heavy. I'm going to express the focal lengths of the lenses I'm looking at in 35mm full frame equivalent. If you want it in micro four-thirds terms, divide the numbers by two.
I've narrowed it down to two lenses:
Panasonic 28-280mm, F3.5 (Wide-end) to F5.6 (long end). Long reach, lightweight
Olympus 24-200, F4 (constant). Less reach, better wide-angle, probably better glass, but it should be at about twice the price. Much heavier.
Any thoughts?
