i think this would go down a lot better if it was for mirrorless and very compact...
i've just bought the pansonic GM1 with 12-32mm as a replacemnt for my climbing camera (replacing panasonic LX3), initial tests show the lens is pretty good at 12mm (though doesn't compare to my D600 with Nikon 20mm 2.8). The crazy thing is just how small it is. with the lens retracted it's no bigger than the LX3 whos sensor is about 1/5th the size! i would love a compact high quality 9-10mm lens to go with it for shooting in the mountains, even if it is only f/4 (as long as it was sharp wide open).
