Panasonic announces the 10-25mm f/1.7 Micro Four Thirds Lens!

It passed kind of under the radar after the FF announcement.

For GH5 users, looks like a very interesting lens (albeit the price will probably be eye watering).

"Integrating a click-less aperture ring that provides seamless aperture control" seems pretty interesting.

Finally!

release date?

[jonpais]

It’s going to cost over $2,000. What’s the hurry?

If you looked, you’d have seen I corrected that. What’s the hurry?

[Andrew Reid]

They finally put a Speed Booster on a Lumix!! ?

But seriously, amazing achievement. $2k isn't bad. 28-70 f2 EOS R is $3k remember, and that is 1.8x crop with no wide end.

This'll be great on the Pocket 4K.

Selling a kidney takes time.

This lens rather neatly shows why Panasonic is heading into FF. It is a big heavy, expensive fast zoom designed to appeal to those users that see the need to make up for the lack of light and DOF inherent in a smaller sensor. At some point you inevitably conclude that a larger sensor makes more sense.

I have been shouting for a fast f2 Zoom for the longest. This is like 1/2 a stop faster than that. Seriously wow. 

Though they should have avoided that L badge on it. It adds like $500 (maybe more) only for that Red Dot and Badge. Sigma is probably making the lens (they probably designed it too). 

Their catchline for this lens is worthy of a double take. It was definitely coined by a Chinese Ad Agency:

"Taking full advantage of Micro Four Thirds"

???

I agree and have commented previously in other threads about this.

I'm not sure why but when you go smaller than APSC there are no fast zooms available, and APSC only has the one option.

From 2.40 there is talk of the 10-25

 

[eyesuncloudedphoto]

Anyone has the link to the "AF guide" she mentions? 

[matthere]
