3 New Sigma Lenses
To Four Thirds our surprise, Sigma introduced 3 new Four Third lenses today at Photokina. A 24mm f1.8 Macro, A 18-50mm f2.8 (That lens was known to be released in Four Thirds mount) and a 135-400mm f4.5-5.6. The introduction of these new lenses increases Sigma's lens line-up for Four Thirds mount to a total of eleven models.
The 135-400 is very compact, weighing only 1280gr. For comparison, the Olympus 50-200 weighs 1070gr.
Update: The Sigma 300-800mm f5.6 "The Sigmonster" will be available for Four Thirds. This one of the longest and biggest SLR lenses available today, and on a Four Thirds camera this would have enormous reach.

Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4 ASPH
It seems like the Four Thirds system is finally getting the bright, normal lens it deserves. At Photokina, Panasonic displayed the Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4 ASPH (http://www.4-3system.com/modules/lenses/lens.php?id=31) lens. This lens will probably not be cheap, but essential in the collection of any serious photographer.
