Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - Klaus - 08-26-2011 Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - boren - 08-26-2011 These two have similar focal lengths to Olympus high-end f/2.0 zoom lenses, but probably not the same maximum aperture. f/2.8 would be nice too.

[/quote] The 35-100mm doesn't "look" like f/2. Tele lenses will not be much smaller than on FT. I guess f/2.8 would be fine anyway - for me at least. ;-) Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - popo - 08-26-2011 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1314357168' post='11046'] The 35-100mm doesn't "look" like f/2.

From that, you can use the image to estimate the entrance aperture. For example, the X14-42 is supposed to be 61mm maximum diameter, so if the X35-100 is similar width, it could hold the ~50mm required for 100mm f/2.0. *if* they use all of it to give you that is another matter... maybe there is a thick border and a small front element so it could be anything slower too. Side note: something I haven't noticed before, is the zoom ring direction on Panasonic lenses opposite to Olympus? They couldn't even agree on that??? Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - Tiz - 08-26-2011 The glass is so bulky that it does not make sense to buy it UNLESS a new mFT PRO body is announced that can really compete with the Sony stuff. Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - Sylvain - 08-26-2011 Just yesterday I was complaining about this! Excellent news. Oh .... more Lumix G X soon ... - Guest - 08-26-2011 I get 64mm, unfortunately it doesn't mean much <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> [quote name='popo' timestamp='1314358404' post='11047'] Anyone with quick access to the m4/3 mount measure it?
