Panasonic announces an optically-stabilized 12-35mm F2.8 Micro Four Thirds lens. The 12-35mm lens is equivalent to the 24-70mm focal length on full frame cameras while maintaining a constant F2.8 maximum aperture. The lens includes a nano surface coating for suppression of flare and ghosting, and has a near silent operation during video shooting. The 12-35mm is extremely compact at less than 3″ and weighs in at under 12oz (~300g).
