1.AF will focus faster on old lenses though not as fast as new ones. I wonder it applies on PDAf 43 lenses.
2.All new pen will have AF assist lamp...finally!

They mentioned that "Old lenses will focus faster on the new Pen cameras". I'm hoping this refers to 43 lenses...

I think we have to remember this is a company that only on the every oft-chance (like 3-4 years) might release something stellar. And its track record quite frankly over the last few years has been dismal. Sure faster AF is better but again, it seems limited to some lenses (again!) and maybe faster on others. I really highly doubt it is much faster than Panasonic's AF. Maybe a bit more, but seriously not so much.
Sometimes I wished Olympus be more consistent, and quit the "multiple copies of the same damn thing".

The rumours all point to AF faster than Panasonic's GH2. Not sure how much faster anyone can make CDAF as the GH2 paired with the 14-140 focuses instaneously when you half press the shutter. With Q-AF or C-AF on, the lens already prefocuses when you point the lens at anything. So IMHO, it may just be a paper value as to me the GH2 is already "immediate". I think this is just a marketing pitch...
It's probably that the 12mm lens is thought to be of much higher optical quality than the 14-42mm lens one-on-one. Add to that the degradation when using the wide converter and things look much better for the single, naturally wide lens with a single focal length.

It is a lot easier to design a prime lens for a fixed focal length and make it fast.
Either way, it is a niche lens. 24mm is great though for a mix of architecture and street.
If we tell you more, we will need to kill you -
All I can say is, it's SEXY and FAST.
