A new Olympus 17mm lens?
voyager:
A new patent has been published for what looks like a new Olympus 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens with improved optical performance. Would anyone buy it?
adash:
Do you have a link to the description of the patent?

Google patents knows nothing about it. Which is sad, because lens patents usually have diagrams for the various aberrations, so a comparison could be made with the old patent. If I could find it too...

I wrote in the thread about Sonnetar 25mm that I won't change my Pana/Leica 25 for that one, but maybe I would change my Olympus 17mm for this one. My younger brother has asked if he could get my recent Olympus 17mm and if this comes true I think he would get it :)
