Naturalexposures: Panasonic has one new lens that is nearly ready to go!

Daniel Cox from Naturalexposures met with Panasonic Lumix executives Henri Nishikawa, Shinji Watanabe and Yasuhide Yamada. And Daniel got info about one future new lens:

I can’t relate specific details about what might be coming. But I can say that Lumix does have a lens in development that’s nearly ready to go. It will be a huge leap forward and something I’m extremely excited about and I’m confident others will feel the same.

and:

I can tell you that we spoke about the entire range of lens choices a professional photographer or serious enthusiast requires to truly hone their photographic craft. There were even a couple of lenses they suggested I hadn’t thought about that were very exciting. I came away from the lens discussions feeling very positive that the Lumix brand has no plans of letting Olympus garner all the attention.

I don’t know if the lens Daniel is talking about is the 150mm f/2.8 that was on hinted by Panasonic a long time ago…

Thanks Daniel for your report!

A bit of everything…
