New Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 stabilized M43rds lens

A new catch-up-athon block starts now! Hopefully this time we will catch up with all the new announcements! We start this block with the new Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 micro four thirds lens. F2.8 zoom lenses come (at least) in pairs, and now Panasonic is giving photographers an f2.8 power duo in the existing 12-35 and new 35-100 f2.8 lenses. The 35-100mm is available for pre-order for $1500. That puts the combined price of the 12-35/35-100 to $2800. $Ouch$!
