Agreed, Panasonic are not world leaders in optical design.

These guys without grasp from reality would clearly demand filter thread also in this:

not a joke,i was just commenting on the expected big size,ceramic lenses,becasue of higher refractive index, could decrease size around 20 %

I would totally get that if f-stop was ok, that means at least f/4 for the whole range. But it is not going to happen. I agree with others that there might be a typo, 7-18 seems much more plausible. Even that sounds almost too good…

Here’s what the next version could be:
7-14mm range (or perhaps 6-12mm), with constant f/2.8, power O.I.S, and weather sealed! It would be the next iteration of the X line and complement the 12-35mm and 35-100mm perfectly!
From there, all that’s missing is the next version of 100-300mm with f/2.8!
