There : "production spec", funny how they don't mention any change in lens design. Not that we'd really believe they'd do that in a month prior release.

Not sure if any of the posted samples is of any help to see any improvements. Either shot at something like f/11 or shot of nearby objects well centered with corners out of focus. Oh well!
The lens still attracts me for its 24mm equivalent and evenmore so considering it's sold 500€ with a camera attached on it (rather than "the camera is sold with the lens for 500€" ;-)). As early reviews say, the cameras are so-so but maybe a better deal than to wait for Panasonic or Olympus to release a 24mm lens equivalent ALONE for 500€+??
Greetings, S.
