Olympus patents a couple of new zooms (12-60mm)

A patent fulfilled back in September 2011 describes a couple of new zooms (Source: freepatentsonline). Sadly all are relatively slow and no one will make you jump off the chair. Here they are:
12-60mm f/4.0-5.7
12-70mm f/4.0-5.7
12-82mm f/4.0-5.7
12-94mm f/4.0-5.8
14-70mm f/4.0-5.7

If at least they would be compact. Time to come up with something really different than the current [shoplink 35867 ebay]12-50mm f/3.5-6.4 lens[/shoplink] lens. One day I will find some f/2.8 or even f/2.0 zoom patent. One day… :)
