Not lal of you probably know that some of the current Panasonic-Leica MFT lenses are actually designed by Konica:
Leica 45mm f/2.8 (patent here)
Leica 8-18mm f/2.8 (patent here)
Panasonic 150mm lens (patent here).

Well, I now spotted a brand new Konica patent that describes a 50-250mm f/4.5-5.8 lens. There may be a Panasonic lens with those specs coming? It could be a cheaper version of the soon to be released new Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0

The current Olympus 25mm f/1.2 is in Stock at [shopcountry 64545].

I told you weeks ago that Olympus is ready to launch the new 17mm f/1.2 PRO lens. It probably will be announced along the new E-M10III. Today a source (Thanks!) sent me this small update:

“The forthcoming 17mm f1.2 lens is not likely to be on the shelves until January 2018”

So we will have to be a bit patient…
