As mentioned last fall, Stefan Daniels said that a new lens in the
range of 15mm would be announced around Photokina to take care of the
wideangle aspect of the D-M. The 21 ASPH should be suitable, and
certainly the 21 Zeiss as well. The 21 SA's won't work.
The putative 15 will also cover 24x36mm, so I'm sure it will cost a bundle.
