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:' />

Anyone with quick access to the m4/3 mount measure it? 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???
