    And earlier, Panasonic officially announced the first m4/3 F/2.8 zoom: ; The 12-35mm f/2.8 (24-70mm equiv). ; They are even pricing it in the neighborhood of its' larger cousins.

    So while people are still waiting for Panasonic's 35-100 f/2.8 (which has been shown under glass this year at CES), or for Olympus to finally migrate their lenses to m4/3 (150mm f/2 anyone?), at least they aren't standing still on the lenses (or just rehashing the existing focal lengths).
