Originally posted by juu I agree that the Panasonic lens lineup for m43 has been much better than the Olympus one so far. However, Olympus have announced 9-18mm f4-5.6 and a 12mm prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds
I hadn't heard about their 12mm, so that's great news, and indeed interesting. my ideal lens line up for that system would be 12mm/2.8, 25mm/1.4 and 50mm/1.4 pancakes. However I could make do with Panasonic's 20mm/1.7 instead of a 25mm. That means by the end of the year hopefully they'll only be missing one lens I need.
As far as their 9-18mm. I believe that is another collapsible lens. One of the reasons I sold my E-P1 was because of that collapsible lens design. It was just too cheaply made and felt like it would fall apart. While I like the idea in theory, I hope they execute it much better than the did with the 14-42mm. But still, like DPR said, this system begs for fast small primes and that is what I want. I have no interest in zooms.
