9 months ago |looking at that picture from the front of the 12-35 it cannot be other than a 2.8 I believe. Or maybe even a 2.0-2.8 from 12-35.

9 months ago |Admin: Great work with 43rumors site. The 12-35 mm is pretty much all I care about in terms of MFT these days. Please post any news regarding this lens

9 months ago |Nice to see photos showing the front element of these new Lumix X zooms.
The Lumix X 12-35 looks like a f.2.8 lens at best, certainly NOT a f.2.0.
And the 35-100 looks like a f.3.5 or f.4 zoom, certainly not a f.2.0 lens either.
Oh well, hopefully they will at least have a constant aperture of some sort.

9 months ago |Good info of late 43rumors! Definitely the best rumors site of the 3 I follow (out of 43rumors, nikonrumors and canonrumors)
Unfortunately the hands on of the X 14-42 doesn’t mention IQ. I really hope it’s as good or better than the 14-45 otherwise I won’t buy it…

9 months ago |those samples shown a few weeks ago were worse than the current kit 14-42. the size is right but if thats actually the case this lens wont sell whatsoever.
