    If there is confidence in the system other lens makers will join in. I believe that Zeiss is now targeting M43s and maybe even the Sony E-mount(?).

    The new lenses are very welcomed by me. If I wanted to buy a NEX, I would be able to buy nearly all lenses I need. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent of a 90mm or 100mm lens, since Sony decided to build a 30mm macro and a 50mm instead of a much more useful 60mm (IMHO the macro should have been a 60mm).

    The ultra wide zoom goes a long way to making NEX a real alternative to MFT. I've been shooting with NEX for over a year now, but considered going back to MFT for the excellent Lumix 7-14 - which I could never bring myself to sell. If the E 10-18mm F4.0 OSS is decent (the price suggests it should be), then I can see myself committing to NEX.

    Still missing is a bright telephoto prime, which took almost 4 years to appear in the MFT lineup. Sony had a "medium telephoto prime" on their roadmap in late 2011 before the Thailand floods, so hopefully that is coming soon. I'm guessing an 85mm F1.8 OSS. Also on the same roadmap is a "thin snap prime" and a "high performance G standard zoom," two other lenses that haven't been announced yet either.

    I hope the telephoto is indeed a 85mm 1.8. That's a focal length I can only cover with huge legacy lenses right now. Then Sony will have a nice set of fast prime: 24mm 1.8, 35mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8.

    I really wonder what the "snap" pancake is. I wouldn't mind something like the Canon 22mm f2 but that would put the Zeiss in a difficult position...
