(FT4) New Micro Four Thirds lenses to be announced next week (Thanks to sources for the latest rumors)
The (Micro-) Four Thirds group listed at www.four-thirds.org.
According to one of my sources next week a Micro Four Thirds company will announce new Micro Four Thirds lenses. As I told you last week it’s not from Olympus or Panasonic. So stay tuned for more news in the coming days! There are also coming Panasonic/Olympus announcements in June/July. Hope we will soon see that new G5 
One more thing: I want to thank the sources for the latest rumors they sent me in these days. I am working on to double check the info and will soon post them on 43rumors. All I can share with 43urmors readers is that Photokina will bring some great news:)

2 years ago |I wish it would be Zeiss!
Mr. Reeee
2 years ago |Yes… How about a reasonably sized M4/3 version of their NEX 24mm?
… and more Voigtländers!
Somebody PLEASE make a GOOD, FAST 300mm or 400mm prime telephoto!
f3.5 or f4.0 would be acceptable.
Atlasman
2 years ago |A 300mm f4 would be fantastic!

2 years ago |Prime fast long telephoto!!
There are several great fast long telephotos for 35mm SLRs and DSLRs, and when you get to this size of lens, any “compactness” has gone out the window. The objective of a 400mm f4.0 lens is 10cm (4 inches). That is a big lens, and it really doesn’t matter what is hanging off the end of it. So all the sports, wildlife and birding photographers can simply re-use their existing lenses for the small formats. Of course, unless the camera interface specifically provides it, you are not going to get AutoFocus. I think we are several years away from their being sufficient critical mass in m43 to hope for long fast AF primes built specifically for the format. In any event, large lenses like this have always been very expensive, as the market is and always will be small.

2 years ago |Hopefully its Schneider!
(But I think they will announce their lens lineup only at Photokina.)
sneye
2 years ago |My guess: two Tamron zooms designed specifically for m4/3 (no awkward focal lengths).
Miroslav

Agree. I bet on Tamron.
JF
2 years ago |that would be awesome if good focal lengths and good aperture like constant f2.8 or f2.8-f4 !
napalm
2 years ago |maybe it’s a m4/3 and NEX version of the tamron 17-50mm f2.8?
Starred
2 years ago |High quality fast 100-300
Jens
2 years ago |make it fast, cheap and start with 45mm
Jesper
2 years ago |there is already a fast cheap lens starts at 45, but also ends at 45

tooning
2 years ago |I hope a 150 2.8 by tamron or sigma
christiangrevstad
2 years ago |That would be really interesting.
Mr. Reeee
2 years ago |Yes, except for the Tamron and Sigma part.
Bob B.
2 years ago |LOL! (my thoughts exactly!)
tooning
2 years ago |i hope that for the kind of price i can afford
BornBad
2 years ago |.
Gabriel
2 years ago |A cheaper f2.8-3.5 constant zoom lens would be nice…
io
2 years ago |+1 for the no so constant but cheaper 2.8-3.5
Dilinger
2 years ago |If it is really Tamron, then please, no f3,5-5,6 travelzoom!
Neon123
2 years ago |I wouldn’t mind a cheaper 25mm (maybe f/1.8?), as all we have now is the PL25 or the Voigtländer.
compositor20
2 years ago |If its constant it can´t be 2.8-3.5
I would like to see a lens that could be compatible with canon mirrorless offer too!
so a 13-40 f2.8 could be in the works… 26-80 f2.8 would be nice.
If its not made with the canon offer in mind I would like a 12-50 f3.5
If it is a schneider lens it must be a f2.8 12mm tilt shift.
Libby
2 years ago |Canon will have it’s own proprietary mount LOL
Woowoowoo
2 years ago |I have a feeling it’s going to be a tamron 12-100 3.5-5.6 lol
Henrik
2 years ago |It will be a Voigtländer f0,8/11mm with leather coating.
Duarte Bruno
2 years ago |I want mine in Red, please.
MikeS
2 years ago |Kodak?
Pooh_bear
2 years ago |@MikeS
Yep
Kodak were early supporters of m43 and used to work quite closely with Olympus on camera tech such as the evf.
The imaging division has been sold off as Truesense imaging and hopefully that business will continue to make contributions to the standard…
Miroslav
2 years ago |No, Sanyo.
Tulio
2 years ago |If fuji had an adaptor for their X1 Pro into M4/3 would be good enough.
CRB
2 years ago |Revised oly 17mm? since all recent primes have better performance than the old one…
Milo Hess
2 years ago |Hope so…a fast 17mm would be nice
Zo
2 years ago |Perhaps I am the only one, but I want ZX-2 news
st3v4nt
2 years ago |hope is not some mirror lens or recycle design of NEX lens….
Bradley Hill
2 years ago |C’mon Zeiss, Fuji and Schneider. Bring it on!
I’d involve Cosina in this as well, but they’ve done good recently so I’ll give them a break.
Mr. Reeee

I’m quite satisfied adapting Voigtländer Leica mount lenses, like the little Nokton 35mm f1.4 and older 75mm f2.5 Color Heliar. These are very nice lenses, with a size and weight that are a good match for m4/3 cameras.
Nick
2 years ago |Except the minimum focussing distance of the rf lenses… That’s one of the nicest bits of the native CV MFT lenses
pdc
2 years ago |Right on. I continue to be amazed at the versatility and image quality of the m43 Noktons.
Nick
2 years ago |How bout a Voigtlander 6mm f4, 10mm f2, 12mm f1.4, 42.5mm f0.95, 67.5mm f1.2 and 100mm f2 Macro?
Not too much to ask…
SLO

EvilBobo
2 years ago |Wow, I think there’s a camera back there somewhere.
Stefan
2 years ago |I would really like to have a fast prime telelens. Even more though, I wish someone would hack the om-d and add fucuspeaking. I use an Om-D as a second camera to my Canon eos 5d MkII and i really enjoy using my 70-300mm f4-5,6 L lens with the adapter I bought from ebay. The canon 100 mm macro f2,8 works so well that I simply does not feel the need to buy a dedicated macrolens. But a 400 mm f4 olympuslens, that would be something!
Leo
2 years ago |Please, new PANCAKE lenses!

10 months ago |I’d love it if it was I the 30mm region.
Some more hyper primes would be brilliant too!
