It is offical. Panasonic 43mm F1.2 and 150mm F2.8 on lens roadmap.

The article is fine until it gets to the the aperture equivalence fallacy (as he calls it), at which point he seems to forget diffraction.  Or to put it another way, his summary of the "equivalence" argument is excellent, his attempted demolition confused, if not plain wrong.
Anyway, my generation grew up with 35mm SLRs, I carried on thinking in 35mm equivalents when I moved to film medium format, I carried on doing so when I moved to FT and then FF and then MFT, and I'm going to carry on now.
An MFT 43mm f1.2 would enable me to do the same job as an 85mm f2.4, a lens and setting I can immediately relate to from personal experience.  I've just ordered a 75mm f1.8 (150 f3.6) though, and since I don't do a lot of portraits any more I can't justify both.
