I'm curious about what exactly they mean by 'wide angle zoom'. The size
looks like its bigger than the 'normal' zoom, so maybe it is a fast and
relatively long-range lens... I'm hoping for something along the lines
of
6mm-24mm (i.e. 12mm - 48mm in 35-equivalent angle). Then make it
f2.0-2.8 or
something, and price it about what the N*kon or C*non 14-15mm lenses
cost...

It is confusing, isn't it. Sometimes you see a 24 to 70 or 80 referred
to as a wide angle zoom. But Nikon has just announced that 18 to 36mm
equivalent wide angle zoom for their digital cameras. I would guess
that Oly plans something similar since, apparently, no one is coming to
the rescue of their "new standard."
