High Quality Lenses are still rare to find in current mirrorless system. But soon this will change.
Sony:
Sony will launch four new Full Frame and one new APS-C E-mount lenses. Three FF lenses will be from Zeiss and one is a Sony G. The APS-C lens is the 16-70mm f/4.0 Zeiss that will be priced around $1,000. That lens will be announced along the NEX-5T on August 29 while the new Full Frame camera+lenses will be announced in late September (24?).
Olympus:
Olympus will also finally launch their brand new fast f/2.8 zoom. And it may be even a second zoom surprise but that has to be confirmed. The Olympus zoom is said to be of higher quality than the 12-35mm X lens from Panasonic.
Still no news from the Canon and Nikon front 🙁

Dear Admin.
Any word on the size of Sonys full frame mirrorless? Do you think it will be semi-pocketable, like the Leica M, or will it be bigger?
Personally, I hope it’ll be tiny! 😛
It will be an RX1 with interchangeable lens mount. It will be incredible, but pricey.
According to the last rumors, it’s going to be 15 or 20% bigger than the Nex7. So, still tiny.
Oly 2,8 Zoom yes yes yes! But please, don’t stop at 35mm, gimmie 50 or 60mm and not again nearly double the American price in Europa!!!!!
Olympus Europa don’t fool us again and again and …..
What is the frame “full” of? Do you mean that these lenses are designed for the 36x24mm “nostalgia format”?
Full of nostalgia I guess…
Although it will give you clean skies and greens in Low iso. Not something that happens very often even on my OMD…
Omd is way overrated with its blurry and small output.
If you hane thousands of dollars an a big neck to carry many kilogramm a new ff kamera ist much better then om-d i think.
But i sell lightweight tents and bags every day, these people need an very good, small system, and mft is the best for them and all other non-prof’s!
The pro reviews say different maybe its your glasses or monitor thats blurry and small.
I’d be more interested in an Olympus zoom that’s as flat as the collapsible zooms from Sony & Panny. I don’t mind larger lenses for primes & longer teles, but I want a nice, compact zoom for travel & everyday shooting, and the current Oly doesn’t quite cut it.
Take the 9-18mm, it is small and great for travelling. Put the 45mm in your pocket an you can take every foto you like! This is my new favorite kambi.
