*LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 14-50mm/F2.8-3.5 ASPH Lens*

Leica Camera AG http://www.leica-camera.com/ and
Panasonichttp://www.panasonic.co.uk/are pleased to announce the
development of a new interchangeable lens based
on the Four Thirds standard. Featuring a focal length from 14mm to
50mm (35mm equivalent: 28mm to 100mm), the new LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT
14-50mm/F2.8-3.5 lens is the first interchangeable lens from Leica
developed exclusively for digital SLR cameras. The "D" signifies that
it is designed for the new digital system.

What with a new Leica lens (the first with image stabilisation), new Sigma
lenses, and a new Panasonic DSLR with live preview, the 4/3 system has
received a major boost. The lack of a swivel LCD on the Panasonic DSLR is
a disappointment, though.
