Finally the (rumored, but probably correct) specs of the NEW 12-60...

Attractive specs for a "travel/all-purpose" zoom. Let's hope IQ holds up.

LEICA DG Vario-Elmarit 12 – 60 mm F 2.8 – 4 Power OIS

– Lens construction: 12 groups 14 pieces (4 aspheric lenses and 2 ED lenses)

– Shortest shooting distance: 20 cm (wide angle), 24 cm (telephoto)

– Maximum shooting magnification: 0.3 times (converted to 35 mm 0.6 times)

– Shake correction: POWER OIS

– Filter diameter: 62 mm

– Size (maximum diameter × length): 68.4 mm × 86 mm

– Weight: 320 g

A 24-120 equivalent that's quite interesting as a range if it comes with good image quality and light weight that makes it ideal as travel lens or a lens for photojournalists.

When you're into MFT shallow DOF isn't generally your priority
