Once we have reasonable replacements for the 12-60, 50-200

The problem is those are the two most important 4/3 lenses and there is no replacement for either one yet!

Yes, these two are very important lenses and needs to be redone in the MFT format.  There are rumors of a 14-40/f2.8 and a 40-150/f2.8 lenses that if te rumors are true should be released mid to late 2013.  Then if these rumors are true a range of 14-150 are covered with two fast lenses.  Still would like to see the range at the wide end expanded to 12.  If not then just like when the 40-150/f2.8 rumor was leaked it begs for where is the wide angle companion to it.  Now that the wide angle campanion rumor is leaked it begs for where is the super-wide companion.  I could see a new 8-14/f4.0 to go with the two other rumored lenses.  The older ultra-wide zoom was one of the first zooms offer for MFT and like the 17/2.8 just might see a higher-end version released.

Still it is nice to see Olympus starting to expand the lens range into some real good lenses.  I am hoping 2013 will be just as exciting as 2012 was for Olympus.
