Panasonics collapsible X lenses (14-42mm pancake and 45-175mm tele)
-
The 45-175mm lens is so cool that the zoom operation is oso done inside the lens without extending unlike previous zooms. For its slimmer body n constant length, i'd say it's quite a compact mid tele zoom.
-
45-175 is inner zoom, right? Super freaking cool

Power zoom...fantastic! But a power zoom with variable aperture...? Not so good for manual exposure work.
I would be much happier if they upgraded/professionalized the 14-140mm with power zoom AND constant aperture. F2.8 would be great, but would be big/heavy...I'd settle for F4.
IMHO 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 (almost 2 stops!) with power zoom = gimmick. Something new to sell to those who already have 14-45mm.
Look at Sony's 16-50mm Zeiss zoom has video optimised OS and AF plus a constant aperture of F2.8. -
Those ads are so Japanese, hilarious !!!
-
Will the power zoom draw more power?
-
Of course...quite a bit I would think.

What about the 12-35 and the 35-100? Do you know about any news?

We have separate topic on this. -
If Power OIS is better then Mega OIS then this would be very nice!

We already had similar photo, but

This is a premium zoom. Impressive MTF charts. Sharp corners. Sharper than 14-45 and 14-140!!!
20cm focus up to 30mm. Power OIS. Nano surface coating. Wow. This could be the best standard m43 zoom. Photographers will love it.
GF3 + 14-42 X will be awesome. -
I'm highly impressed by the Power O.I.S samples at maximum zoom and low shutter speeds. One advantage of m4/3s having lighter lens elements to be able achieve this
-
I'll definitely upgrade from the Lumix 45-200mm to the X 45-175mm, but I'll still be frowning at its f4-5.6 speed. If only they'd make fast cine-style versions of these lenses for the AF100! (Cause I'd use them on the GH2.)

35-100 X lens at 2.8 :)
-
I love nothing more than a super slow zoom lens :/ BONK

Video made with the X 45-175mm
Japan has already had kits announced with the GF3 + X 14-42mm -

I want the clear ones. Kind of reminds me of the old G3 iMacs :)
