Been following the Panasonic news checking to see when the new updated lenses for M43 will be made available, thus holding back the G85 purchase hoping to buy it with the lenses when reviews are out, particularly interested with the newer 12-35mm Power OIS and 35-100mm Power OIS lenses.

From the Panasonic site it looks like they are already reducing the price of the older models (12-35mm).

The Dual IS feature pairing G85 and the newer updated lens will be interesting to watch and comparisons with the Olympus combination of body IS and non IS lens, how much of a difference will it make.

Newer lenses are given HS"A" addition to the existing line, so if anyone buying the new lenses just be aware of the newer model lineup and not get caught with old lenses if your intended are the newer lenses.

Anyone with information on what the internal differences are between the newer and older lenses? are there much significant improvements?
