I would merely point out that Panasonic really doesn\'t lag anything if you believe their lenses already outperform their Sony and Olympus counterparts. They also had them out first. Sony and Olympus could never even dream of bringing a f/1.2 lens to market in the current mirrorless climate, they simply don\'t have the resources. Nocticron is a gem that only a company that truly understands photography could produce.
Panasonic, FWIW, is producing better lenses than anyone in the world right now.
I\'m speaking to the rate of current introductions specifically. Panasonic has only introduced consumer lenses this year.
Additionally, with 2 exceptions (the 25/1.4 and the 42.5/1.2) their entire lens lineup generally lags Olympus in perceived quality. Olympus, with their Pro line and the 12, 60 & 75 primes pretty much is the de facto lens quality leader in m43. Not that there\'s anything wrong with the Panasonic lenses, they\'re generally quite good.
Olympus certainly could do a world-class f1.2 lens. Fuji certainly has with a fraction of the resources or design experience of Olympus (Panasonic also has a mere fraction of Olympus\'s design experience).
