I've been drooling over this lens ever since I saw the first write-up a few months ago. This morning I got an e-mail from Olympus that it can be pre-ordered now, and will be shipped mid-november.
I will check with my local camera shop first, they will likely charge the same price as Oly, and then I'd rather get it there after I feed my piggybank some more of the green stuff.
It's not a cheap lens, and really, I need the extra time to justify buying this lens ;-)
This lens will make 4/3 much more viable for many people !
