"I rather like the 4/3 sensor when it comes to using long lenses (which, to 
me, is one of the raisons d'etre of SLRs). If I were Doug Herr and wanted 
to move to digital, I'd buy an E-1, the 300/2.8 telephoto, and an extender. 
There is something about a 600/2.8 [effective] lens that is as long as a 
300 that appeals to me.
