Center Valley, Pa. — Olympus added a new lens to complement its digital SLRs yesterday.
The Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm (f4.0-f5.6) telephoto lens is compatible with all of Olympus’ E-series cameras and models, such as Panasonic’s Lumix L1, that are based on the Four-Thirds standard.
The digital lens offers its own CPU and consumers can upgrade its firmware as new technology becomes available, Olympus said. It features three ED glass elements and will ship in September for an estimated $399.
