What should be the next Panasonic "Leica" lens?

[sfmurph]

Now that the 100-400 lens is out, what do you think should be the next Panasonic-Leica lens?

I recently added the 15mm f/1.7 to the 25mm f/1.4, and I really like the new design language on the 15. I would hope that they update the 25 to include that, and maybe be a bit thinner like the 15. I'd also like to see a m4/3 optimized 50mm f/2 Summicron in the same style (and hopefully in the same price bracket and not way up there like the Nocticron).

What do you think?

67.5mm f/2 OIS WR macro?

It's unlikely given the PL15, but the system still needs a smokin' 35mm equivalent lens. Maybe a 17.5mm f1.4 that is just stellar optically?

Or maybe a really high end, sealed PL 12-100 f3.5-5.6 to go with the 100-400? Guess they just did the 12-60, though, so prob not.

67.5mm f/2 OIS WR macro?

Sounds nice, but based on the PL45, that would have to cost USD $1900 wouldn't it?

Yes.

ooooooo .... A 17.5 f1.2 Nocticron ....... now you are talking !!!

And hurry, before Olympus makes one.

 

[wjiang]

Anything from 9-14mm f/2? Maybe even a zoom.

Won't bother me which of them makes it .... first in the shop gets my $$$$'s

18-35/1.8 zoom, smaller than the Sigma APS-C lens.

12-50mm f/4 constant aperture, premium quality lens would get my money.

The recently announced 12-60 looks like it will be a very good lens, but I'd prefer a GREAT 12-50 f/4.

I would also buy a 7mm or 7.5mm f/4 premium quality rectilinear prime lens with AF. The 7-14 f/4 lens is great, but I always shoot it at 7mm, so I might as well have a great 7mm prime.

A pancake 9mm, sharp to the edge, with excellent flare control and beautiful tight sun-stars at narrow apertures...

A Leica pancake?

 

[Repp]

I'd really like a weather sealed 8-16 that takes filters

More pancakes - perhaps a 20 mm with fast AF could also be 17 mm

 

[bahamot]

Maybe I'm sound crazy, but I might buy any FL with nocticron IQ and built quality.

This! Or at least a wr version of the 45. I love my 45. Probably the best lens of the system.

how about a 10mm 1.7 Prime , to compete with the 12 2.0 which is already pricey and been around forever. Just make it as small as possible (slightly bigger than the 12 2 is ok) It would be in my bag for astro and epic night / low light landscapes and general wide angle use. (yes I know I can use a fisheye but I dont want to. why you ask. because I am doing astro shots from inside old ruins and defishing does not always play nice with architecture. )

then they could have the
10 1.7
15 1.7
20 1.7
25 1.4

 

[LowriderS10]

An 8 or 9mm rectiliniar prime. The smaller the better. Panasonic, Leica, Olympus, I don't care who...but someone needs to make one.

 

[srhphoto]

A prime between 100 to 200mm at f2ish would be nice

A PL 10mm and a 200mm f/2.8 Mega OIS and a 1.4x
