I might pick up a 15mm since something that wide angle would not be very difficult to manually focus.

Would the 15/4 be rectilinear, or would it be a fisheye ?

A 12mm f2.8 for micro four thirds would be great.

This one looks interesting, if it's as good as the ZE21 I'll take it!!

Very interesting. Wonder what a release price could be. Think it could cost less than the canon 14? Wish Canon would just go ahead and make a damn 14-24 already.

I think Zeiss made a 15 f3.5 for the Contax RTS system. It was very expensive from what I recall but it was supposedly excellent. Unfortunately I doubt that it will be less expensive than the Canon 14mm f2.8 II if that is what the lens will be.
