Specifications:
Damn, this is pretty nice. A little short on the zoom range but a nice compromise for F/2. I wonder how much more expensive it will be (if at all) than the 11-20 F/2.8.
Whoa! This is cool

This lens is designed as the fast aperture F2.0 in all focal range, but it is a compact body. This lens has a thread in the front frame, so it’s possible to attach filters of 82mm size.

Like this one alot with viltrox speedbooster on GH5. It becomes around 10-14 mm, while keeping the lines quite straight. Very good for gimbal work as well. You might need to step down a little, but at 1.8 its quite usable. I usually add tiffen digital diffusion 1 to it, helps to take of some edge and with naturally harsh highlight rolloff. Just don´t expect to much from bokeh, but unless you focus very close (which is possible), there isn´t much of it anyways. This can make nailing focus hard on small screen.
