(FT4) UPDATED -> The future MicroFourThirds lens list! Is Olympus going to produce a new 20mm f/1.7 lens?

Share

Olympus_mft_lenses
Forum Olympus France just compiled a nice MicroFourThirds lens list and they also have a list of future (and some unexpected) lenses! The adminstrator of the forum says he received the future lens list from Olympus!

The important news is
1) The 9-18mm lens will be in Stock by april 2010
2) The 14-150mm lens in Stock may-june 2010
3) And that’s not a joke…Olympus Forum France adminstrator says that Olympus plans the release of the new 20mm f/1.7 lens by end 2010 early 2011! Can’t believe Olympus will copy the lens!

UPDATE:
The very friendly administrator of the Olympus France Forum contacted me and told me “The roadmap stated on the forum-olympus-france is the roadmap announced with the E-P2 by Olympus France. There is no information on the forum-olympus-france whether or not this Micro Zuiko Digital 20/1.7 is the same as the Panasonic : such information is not available yet.

Here the complete list!

At the moment we have 5 zooms:
– 7-14/4.0 Poids 300gr ; pas de filtre.
– 14-42/3.5-5.6 Poids 150gr; Filtre 40.5mm.
– 14-45/3.5-5.6 OIS Poids 195gr; Filtre 52mm
– 14-140/4.0-5.8 OIS HD Poids 460gr; Filtre 62mm
– 45-200/4.0-5.6 OIS Poids 380gr; Filtre 52mm

and 3 primes:
– 17/2.8 Poids 71gr; Filtre 37mm
– 20/1.7 Poids 100 gr; Filtre 46mm
– 45/2.8 OIS Macro Poids 225gr; Filtre 46mm

Panasonic will release following three lenses during 2010 (and 43rumors knows already that Panasonic is going to unveil more lenses!):
– 100-300/4.0-5.6 OIS
– Fisheye 8/3.5
– 14/2.8 pancake, filtre 46mm

and here comes the future Olympus lenses list:
– 9-18/4.0-5.6 (april 2010)
– 14-150/4.0-5.6 (may-june 2010)
– 40-150
