Rumors Panasonic 24-60 f2.8 or f2.0

And my Lumix 50mm F1.8. Quite a bit on my favorite subject matter. Not a high end, expensive lens by any measure.

That said, a smaller, lighter f/2.8 that's sharp would have been a nice addition for more causal outings. For $900, I dont see the performance or value, thus far.

You are implying that the lens is not sharp. Have you used it?

Here we go, Johnnie Behiri from cined.com was trying the 24-60 f2.8 and literally says: "what can I say, it is very sharp. Edge to edge this lens is very sharp. If I would"t have made a review, I guess that I would have put an 1/8th of a black pro mist filter just so soften up a little bit..." and later repeats against "it is very very sharp"...

If you followed some of my previous comments, no, I have not shot it and was ready to pre-order it, but the images that I've seen so far (online) have not been impressive. I will wait for more review and images or for an opportunity to shoot it myself when it becomes generally available.
 
PetaPixel has sample images for the S1II and S1IIE, and maybe the 24-60. But you need to be a "Member" to see them. Is anyone a PetaPixel member? I'm hoping the photography is better than the dismal photos on DPreview.
