The nice guys from Quesabesde shared that screenshot that discloses Panasonic’s intention to unveil two more new lenses in autumn. According to our sources one should be a zoom and one a prime lens. And 1-2 current lenses should be updated.

looks like it’s go,go,go…
happy days at Micro Four Thirds đ
You will be very happy with what’s coming from Olympus (lenses) hihihihihi đ
Could you please elaborate? Is it more than just the two primes? Hopefully there is a high quality zoom in there as well.
Oh, c’mon, stop teasing us :). You’ve promised us Olympus PEN mini rumors couple of days ago. Can we get one Oly rumor after your lunch đ ? 13:00 CET đ ? Pleeease ?
Admin has learned the #1 rule of showbusiness…
Always keep them wanting more! đ
Stay tuned!
A portrait lens perhaps? Please don’t make it Leica branded Panasonic. Would be nice if they could keep the price semi-reasonable.
Could the 20mm f/1.7 be getting an update ? I mean, just trying to come up with reasons why it’s been backordered for several weeks now…
No, the 7-14mm and the kit zoom yes!
Collapsible kit zoom HAS to be on their to-do list if they are to make more mini cameras. If you look at the comparison of GF3 and NEX-C3 with kit zooms, there is almost no difference in size.
Too bad they didn’t have the collapable kit zoom ready in time for the GF3.
Seems they should have announced new kit zoom today, and 25 1.4 in autumn with GF1MkII/L1, would make more sense, no?
Was rather hoping for updated 20mm.
“Seems they should have announced new kit zoom today, and 25 1.4 in autumn with GF1MkII/L1, would make more sense, no?”
Exactly. But they have to make headlines often, so they’ll have more if they replace kit zoom while not changing the body. Remember E-PL1s?
Please let it be a fast 12-50…
How many niche lenses does a system need before you start releasing the fundamentals?
C’mon, any hints on the Olympus lens? It is a portrait lens isn’t it? Focal length??
If the guys from Quesabesde could just crop a bit wider so that we could see the text below…
I suppose Panasonic will stick to September plan: fast zoom and a fast wide. And I hope, they’ll be announced in August, not in autumn. Good times for m4/3 indeed.
Is there any word on when the 20mm f/1.7 will be available and why it’s out of stock currently?
“Two new lenses Autumn 2011”
“And 1-2 current lenses should be updated.”
Hope these two lines aren’t talking about the exact same two lenses…
And come on, Pana and Oly, STOP updating your past lenses; we have ENOUGH kit lenses, and there’re still many gaps in the current mFT line-up!
The fast normal zoom would be killer. This is beginning to look like a very interesting system. NEX, on the other hand, has lots of “potential”, but still lacks the lenses to make it killer. And that supposing they are brave enough to start making some key smallish primes instead of big super zooms (which, sadly, is what most consumers want).
