The Olympus zoom table (Patent US8928993)

UPDATED: The United States Patent US8928993 discloses a new zoom with f/1.8 aperture at the wide end and f/2.8 at the tele end. It’s designed for smaller than MFT sensors (1/1.7 inch for example). I really do hope Olympus will make fats zooms for MFT too. It’s a long time now people is asking for a faster than f/2.8 zoom lens from Olympus. Just like they had with he Four Thirds system with the [shoplink 25320 ebay]Zuiko 14-35mm f/2.0 (here one Bay)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 25319 ebay]Zuiko 35-100mm f/2.0 (here one Bay)[/shoplink].
