Yup. There is a Leica-badged 14-50, if I remember correctly, with IS, for 
abt 1K for the panaonic version of the Olympus E330. I suppose it could be 
a Panasonic lens, but it says it's Leica, and that's enough to make it 
worth buying.;-). Seriously though, Leica did announce that it was joining 
the 4/3 'collective.'
