Digicaminfo posted the first picture of the 11-27.5mm lens. A nice tiny pancake zoom! And for those of you owning a NEX camera we have a good news for you too! Sony will launch a new compact 35mm f/1.8 E-mount lens in exactly one month!
Great news, now let’s see what’s coming from the other manufacturers!

f/3.5-5.6? Boo.
A J1 + 11-27 combo would have less DOF control than a RX100, G1X, or even small-sensor compacts like the XZ-1 or LX7.
Fast lenses, please, Nikon.
Probably not applicable to their target market, but then not a lot is besides the word “Nikon”.
They might not like the frankly quite awful “wide” end of that zoom, though.
No VR? Why would anyone buy this over the 10-30mm? It’s not like this lens is going to make the J1/V1 pocketable.

No IS is a very bad decision by Nikon. They copied what Samsung did with their 20-50mm lens for NX.
My god, Sony has finally decided to release a fast compact lens for the Sony NEX! I must be dreaming…
Pancake and still zooms normally. Way teh go Nikon ! 😀
Is the 11-27.5 any smaller than Panny’s 14-42X for Micro 4/3rds? Also, the zoom range isn’t exactly great (30-74 in 35 mm terms).
I wrongly assumed that it was in the US at first.
To discover it was here in the UK is quite
saddening.
