The other three lenses have very interesting specs and I certainly would be glad to see them make it into mass production.

Looks like some prototype Nocticron lenses are available for show somewhere in Japan. These are three new images found by our Japanese friend at Digicameinfo. Still no info about the exact availability and price. That said it really looks sexy on that Black GX7 :)
