Rumors Panasonic 24-60 f2.8 or f2.0

[pdk42]

A 24-60 f2 would be enormous, and even an f2.8 would be big too, and really pointless given the existing 24-70 f2.8 lenses already in the system. Is a big and heavy 24-60 f2 really necessary? Who would buy it?

If Lumix releases a "small" 24-60mm f/2.8 for about 1.000€ I would be very interested.

What would a 24-60 f2.8 offer you over one of the excellent 24-70 f2.8 lenses already in the system ? (i.e. the LUMIX and Sigma lenses).

Maybe it would be another one of those zooms that is designed to replace a "bag of primes", a bit like the Sigma 28-45 f1.8?

I've looked at that Sigma and it's way too big and heavy for me!

For that matter, L-mount is missing a 24-70 F4. Probably not what's coming, however.

Maybe it's just a smaller, lighter updated version of the current 24-70 S Pro? I've looked at the S Pro a few times, the weight has discouraged me from going any further than that though.

The smaller size... I use a lot the apsc modus (super 35), therefore I would have a smaller 24-90mm

And @Richard Wong is laughing at this thread silently because of our silly assumption's and not being able to just wait and see
