News Updated Lumix S lens roadmap

[Jonathan-Mac]

This came along with the new 40mm f/2 - an updated roadmap adding that lens plus an 18~24mm prime and a 50~200mm fast aperture zoom.

Another large-aperture telephoto zoom would likely be an S-Pro (the first in some time), perhaps a 50-150mm f/2.

A prime that sits between existing 18mm and 24mm options I would think would be slower and smaller than them as another f/1.8 between those two would make no sense. Perhaps a 21mm f/2.8?

Whatever they turn out to be, it doesn't seem like they're the lenses that the L-mount is most lacking.

Another large-aperture telephoto zoom would likely be an S-Pro (the first in some time), perhaps a 50-150mm f/2.

It's an intriguing choice of focal range by Panasonic, given that 70-200mm f2.8 occupies a lot of that range.

A prime that sits between existing 18mm and 24mm options I would think would be slower and smaller than them as another f/1.8 between those two would make no sense. Perhaps a 21mm f/2.8?

One of the reviewers suggested that it might be another small lens, e.g. a 20mm in the same body as the new 40mm lens. That would make sense given there is already a regular sized 18mm prime.
