News Lumix Lens Roadmap Updated

Very exciting. Hope they drop soon. I wonder if the 100-500 will be similar to Tamron's 150-500 with size, weight, and aperture
 
Looking at where it is on the roadmap I’d guess a variable aperture like 5.6-6.3 but hopefully very lightweight (lighter than the sigma 150-600mm) with optical stabilisation for dual IS. If it happens for around £1500 I will be very interested.
 
it is interesting to see that the short-focal / high aperture is clearly starting at wider focal length than the all-zoom, i.e. probably 26mm vs. 28mm.

Would be interesting if it was 28-85mm, hence extending to a standard portrait lens. This would distinguish the Lumix model from other offerings.

Or we get a 2/28-70 like Canon offers. From the location in the roadmap it could be an S lens and it would be time to extend the S line...
Where to go for the future? Mainstream or niche?

Honestly I don't think Panasonic are daring enough to produce such a lens.

But, given that the vertical axis corresponds to aperture, it seems that it will be an F4 lens. Probably a lightweight 28-70 F4. Seems odd, though - that's very similar to the 20-60. Perhaps it will be branded "Macro" and/or have O.I.S. Possibly better weather sealing.

Yeah that makes sense - never noticed the y axis correlated to aperture. Probably a new kit lens for their S1 series that will be a 28-70 f4 OIS to differentiate between their s5 line and come in a bit cheaper than the 24-105

I hope it's a pancake zoom or at least something else that's fun to differentiate from the other standard zooms.

We could really use some more pancake options.
 
I actually want to take something back - I was interested in the 100-500 and then I realized the RF version was close to $2600. Guessing the 70-300 or 100-400 are going to be much closer to my budget unless I happen to land some paying gigs out of nowhere
