Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ...

These two have similar focal lengths to Olympus high-end f/2.0 zoom lenses, but probably not the same maximum aperture. f/2.8 would be nice too.

The 35-100mm doesn't "look" like f/2. Tele lenses will not be much smaller than on FT.

I guess f/2.8 would be fine anyway - for me at least. ;-)

Anyone with quick access to the m4/3 mount measure it? From that, you can use the image to estimate the entrance aperture. For example, the X14-42 is supposed to be 61mm maximum diameter, so if the X35-100 is similar width, it could hold the ~50mm required for 100mm f/2.0. *if* they use all of it to give you that is another matter... maybe there is a thick border and a small front element so it could be anything slower too.



Side note: something I haven't noticed before, is the zoom ring direction on Panasonic lenses opposite to Olympus? They couldn't even agree on that???

The glass is so bulky that it does not make sense to buy it UNLESS a new mFT PRO body is announced that can really compete with the Sony stuff.

Just yesterday I was complaining about this!

Excellent news.

I get 64mm, unfortunately it doesn't mean much <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />

43rumors suggested a Pana Pro body already for the end of the year.

For those who don't know, keep in mind that the 14-45 is smaller than the new 14-42 kit lens



Here's my *very* rough collage showing how they'd overlap.



14-45 < 14-42 < 12-35



I'm excited !

These new lenses will certainly cost more than 1k EUR.
