Daniel Cox from Naturalexposures met with Panasonic Lumix executives Henri Nishikawa, Shinji Watanabe and Yasuhide Yamada. And Daniel got info about one future new lens:
I can’t relate specific details about what might be coming. But I can say that Lumix does have a lens in development that’s nearly ready to go. It will be a huge leap forward and something I’m extremely excited about and I’m confident others will feel the same.
and:
I can tell you that we spoke about the entire range of lens choices a professional photographer or serious enthusiast requires to truly hone their photographic craft. There were even a couple of lenses they suggested I hadn’t thought about that were very exciting. I came away from the lens discussions feeling very positive that the Lumix brand has no plans of letting Olympus garner all the attention.
I don’t know if the lens Daniel is talking about is the 150mm f/2.8 that was on hinted by Panasonic a long time ago…
Thanks Daniel for your report!
