Now we all know what kind of Panasonic and Olympus lenses are going to be unveiled in 2010. We want to ask you which ones you are going to buy! Let Olympus and Panasonic know what you want and maybe they will produce enough of this lenses for all of us ;)

UPDATE: We added a new option for all of you which are unhappy with the future lens selection.

(FT4) UPDATED -> The future MicroFourThirds lens list! Is Olympus going to produce a new 20mm f/1.7 lens?

Share

Olympus_mft_lenses
Forum Olympus France just compiled a nice MicroFourThirds lens list and they also have a list of future (and some unexpected) lenses! The adminstrator of the forum says he received the future lens list from Olympus!

The important news is
1) The 9-18mm lens will be in Stock by april 2010
2) The 14-150mm lens in Stock may-june 2010
3) And that’s not a joke…Olympus Forum France adminstrator says that Olympus plans the release of the new 20mm f/1.7 lens by end 2010 early 2011! Can’t believe Olympus will copy the lens!

UPDATE:
The very friendly administrator of the Olympus France Forum contacted me and told me “The roadmap stated on the forum-olympus-france is the roadmap announced with the E-P2 by Olympus France. There is no information on the forum-olympus-france whether or not this Micro Zuiko Digital 20/1.7 is the same as the Panasonic : such information is not available yet.

Here the complete list!

At the moment we have 5 zooms:
– 7-14/4.0 Poids 300gr ; pas de filtre.
– 14-42/3.5-5.6 Poids 150gr; Filtre 40.5mm.
– 14-45/3.5-5.6 OIS Poids 195gr; Filtre 52mm
– 14-140/4.0-5.8 OIS HD Poids 460gr; Filtre 62mm
– 45-200/4.0-5.6 OIS Poids 380gr; Filtre 52mm

and 3 primes:
– 17/2.8 Poids 71gr; Filtre 37mm
– 20/1.7 Poids 100 gr; Filtre 46mm
– 45/2.8 OIS Macro Poids 225gr; Filtre 46mm

Panasonic will release following three lenses during 2010 (and 43rumors knows already that Panasonic is going to unveil more lenses!):
– 100-300/4.0-5.6 OIS
– Fisheye 8/3.5
– 14/2.8 pancake, filtre 46mm

and here comes the future Olympus lenses list:
