Mu-43 Hall of Famer
The new lens can happily support the high price levels with the following improvements:
Image quality same or better than current lens
Image stabilization
Filter thread (just cut threads in the fixed hood!)
Brighter aperture - even if it had to be variable, a f2.0-4.0 would be much more attractive to me, as the widest angles are of significant importance indoors
Size is OK currently, but you will lose some sales to the Oly lens for size freaks
Without the faster aperture at least, and probably IS, the price/size difference to the Oly lens makes for very stiff competition in the market, and you are definitely losing sales.
Also, please pass along that MANY of us are waiting for the bright normal zoom, we don't want any more delays!
