Subject: [Leica] Leica participation in 4/3rds format

Good news...I'll be interested to see the pricing. Olympus already has some
of these, or lenses close to them, but the 30 1.4 and the 18-50 2.8 are
really needed at this point. Supposedly Olympus has a 14/17 -35 f2 in the
works, to go with their excellent but heavy 35-100 f 2, but who knows when
it will appear...
