Hey, that's interesting! Finally using the until now supposed, but not 
apparent, advantage of 4/3 to go after the small & light piece of the 
market. The ghost of Maitani lives on?

With Pent*x apparently going sideways, at best, it's an interesting 
strategy. Makes the lens line-up a little odd, though, with so many 
similar range zooms:

14-42/3.5-5.6 - 14-45/3.5-5.6 & 14-54/2.8-3.5

40-150mm f/4.0-5.6, 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 & 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5

The existing ones are the EZ line and the ED line, what will the new 
ones be? Oh, in the release, they are ED. Sales folks are going to have 
fun with that - or not...

Anyway, I wish them lots and lots of luck carving out a profitable piece 
of the market with this one.

When and how will the pro shoe drop??? Dum da dum dum.
