Re: Oly Second or Last?

Is the oly lens the only one that is fully weatherproofed? If so, surely it sghould have been marked up on build or features?
There is no mention on their respective websites of weather or dust proofing for the Nikkor, Sigma or Canon so no, it seems none of them have it.
The Oly lens is a pro lens, both dust and splash proof. It comes complete with lens hood and soft case.
The Sigma also comes with a lens hood and padded case.
The Nikon also comes with lens hood and soft case.
The Canon comes with neither lens hood nor case. Lens hood is additional £26.
One other Oly plus. I believe (and I'm prepared to be corrected on this) that it is the only one of the four tested which can have the direction of its manual focussing changed by the user to suit. Also, I think only the Canon and the Oly can perform seamless AF+manual without switching.
So yes, quite a few more factors to consider there.
