Nice if true, it would mean that perhaps Sony does listen once in a great while.

+1. It may not be built like a rock, but the Sigma 30 is so good optically that I'll probably debate whether to even buy the Sony 35/1.8, whenever it arrives. Granted, it'll likely only be a few hundred bucks, so I'm sure I'll eventually own both of them.What about the spectacular and dirt-cheap Sigma 30/2.8? Everyone seems happy with that; I know I am. I am not a fan of zooms, but would buy this one, and team it with the 50/1.8.
Correct me if I am wrong but the G pancake zoom having good "optical" output due to alot of software correction in both the panny and olympus. Ultimately there has to be a sacrifice when making a zoom lens that small. I suspect pannys way is to correct for barrel/pincushion, ca and vignetting all software, so what you see is an amazing result similar to ED glass found in nikon and L series Canons but in a fraction of the size. So in that case can we really say the G series pancake zoom is optically good, or rather clever pancake design and clever software.The G-pancake zoom may not be everyone's cup of tea, but provided that it is optically good quality and not in the Zeiss 24mm price bracket, I can see it being popular, especially if it is black.
I wish that Sony was more like Olympus in the approach they have to nice looking, top quality lenses for the 4/3rds line ... but they're not. Funnily enough, I don't mind their silver lenses as they look the part. Now how about that nice 75mm 1.8?
Amen to that!True, but it was rated an SR5 or almost certainly correct so odds are very good. Hopefully it is good, compact and affordable.
Pick any two…True, but it was rated an SR5 or almost certainly correct so odds are very good. Hopefully it is good, compact and affordable.
I have to go with good and compact...but hoping for affordable!Pick any two…
As we all are.I have to go with good and compact...but hoping for affordable!
