Panasonic working on 12-100mm lens - Patent

12-100mm lens

According to a latest patent surfaced over the web Panasonic is working on 12-100mm lens. As we all know Panasonic already have 12-35mm lens but that 12 to 35 mm lens features constant aperture throughout the zoom range on the other hand the latest document suggest that lens will arrive with a variable aperture from 4.0 to 5.8.

Panasonic 12-100 patent

I was expecting a better and fixed aperture based pro kit zoom lens from Panasonic, but I am disappointed after reading the patent document, the the 12-100mm range is excellent but the starting aperture of the lens is 4.0 which is not acceptable at all.

Panasonic says –  the present disclosure provides a compact and lightweight zoom lens system having a short overall length of lens system as well as excellent optical performance.
