I just spotted a brand new published Olympus patent. It describes a 12-35mm f/1.8-2.4 (24-70mm f/4.0-5.6 FF equivalent) MFT lens. The main characteristic of that lens is that it is collapsible. The patent mentions that this lens can be used for both fixed lens and system camera versions.
It will have pretty much the size of the current [shoplink 58222 ebay]9-18mm lens[/shoplink].
Leica 8-18mm review by Richard Wong:
If you are a professional or serious amateur photographers, videographers and already using the latest high end camera like the GH5 or Olympus EM1 Mk2, and you want an ultra wide angle lens that can deliver high quality results and allow you to shoot under challenging weather conditions, the Leica DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH is probably the best choice for you.
