Well. It’s now January 2010. WHERE ARE THEY?

I agree that Oly needs to make super fast lenses. I am so excited simply by the idea of shooting with a f/1.0 lens. f/1.4 also works. And as most have said before 42 ( more likely 40 ) would be a great focal length to make a fast prime lens. I have 2 legacy f/1.2 lenses and I know that results can’t be as sharp as Zuiko Digital lenses but it’s not bad either actually I prefer a little softer lens for portraits. So if Oly can combine the goodness of a legacy lens with autofocus in 85mm equivalent (40~42mm) focal length, it would make a great kit lens for new E-3 ++, also for 4/3 users in general.

I really need a 25mm 1.4-1.8!
And I need it at a reasonable price!

Me:

1st: 1:2.0/12, better 1.8 or 1,4
2nd: 1:2.0/25mm, better 1.8 or 1.4

Hopefully, they will release a fast prime wideangle lens (like my favourite 2.0/28mm on Olympus) without the weight of a ton

I need Zuiko Digital 8mm f2.8(3.5),but not a fisheye.
Nothing would be better than put SWD into the macro lensã€‚

A 400mm or 500mm might be nice. Aside from that, I’m not particularly hungry for any shorter focal lengths, and given that I managed to acquire a Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 I’m OK for “ultra fast” lenses.

One thing I wish Olympus would reconsider is its usage of the SWD autofocus motors. Hypersonic motors aren’t exactly new stuff, and the competition are placing them into quite a few of their lenses. Olympus is treating their hypersonic motor technology as if it’s some luxury-line item. Put it into more lenses! (For the record, I have the 12-60mm SWD – it’s very nice!)

The only lense that sounds truly appealing here is the 14 f/2 for me, and I wish there was a wider option, like an effective (20mm-24mm) prime.

I really hope Olympus will show primes: 7, 14, 24, 35,…

I my opinion Oly is developping a new period in camera construction and wil
present us new high quality tools in a small sice.

I want to walk around by concetrate on the world around me and carrying kilos of
equipment which need my concentration on carrying …..

I do not see a problem on lenses which start with f 3,5 to 4. The mFT will hopeflly will
show small light lenses in top quality lieke in old days.
