Olympus have announced two new lenses for the Micro Four Thirds system, including an ultrazoom and a wide zoom. The compact M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-5.6 covers an angle-of-view range equivalent to that of a 18-36mm superwide-to-wide lens on a 35mm body, while the M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 can be likened to a 28-300mm lens in 35mm equivalency. These two lenses, shown above in the company of the existing 14-42mm and 17mm optics, will go on sale in the first half of 2010. Prices to be confirmed.

Update: Olympus has published a lens roadmap, which shows the lenses mentioned above, plus four more optics planned for spring 2011.

I am REALLY excited to get these for my Olympus, especially the ultra-zoom. What is the general concensus on a price?

Besides the 2 Olympus m4/3-lenses, mentioned above, also the 2 Panasonic m4/3-lenses may be of interest, that were presented (according to photoscala 26.March) at the PIE in Tokio, namely a 2,8/45 mm OIS Makro and a 1,7/20 mm pancake.
