(FT4) Panasonic is about to launch the new 12-50mm f/2.5-3.3 zoom!

I told you that rumors would not stop! We are working on quite a few news right now! The first rumor we post is about the next Panasonic zoom lens. A few weeks ago a trusted source said us that Panasonic was about to release a new 12-50mm f/2.5-3.3 zoom. We looked for confirmation from other sources and now we found that also according to DSLRmagazine sources Panasonic will soon release that lens! I was told the zoom lens is pretty big and that it should be announced very soon along the new MFT camera sometimes between February and May. It’s a lens optimized for video like the [shoplink 14802]Panasonic 14-140mm[/shoplink] (that means silent autofocus, smooth zoom). I guess this is the lens that has been made primarily for the use on a [shoplink 16841]Panasonic AG-AF100[/shoplink] and [shoplink 17361]Panasonic GF2[/shoplink]. We have no price indication yet. The closest lens you can compare with is the Olympus 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ED SWD (Four Thirds) which costs $899 at Amazon. But that lens is not optimized for video and not as fast as the Panasonic.

This is not the only lens Panasonic is preparing. The Micro Four Thirds version of the current [shoplink 16340]Four Thirds 25mm f/1.4[/shoplink] is also almost ready for launch also latest news reported that the lens will not be in Stock before April-May.

P.S.: Dslrmagazine also reminds you that Olympus will launch three pro MFT lenses in April-May.

Stay tuned guys…those are busy times!
