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

Yes, of course, which is absolutely fine for portraits.  My standard portrait FF lens was 105 f2.  It's fun being able to use that paper thin DoF as a special effect, but if you actually wanted more than an eyelash in focus you stopped it down to f2.8 of f4.  So an 85 f2.4 equivalent lens, provided it is xharp wide open, will be just dandy.  The existing Oly 90/f3.6 equivalent (the 45/f1.8) is a great lens, but there are times when one would like something shallower.  You can get it with the 150/f3.6 equivalent (75/f1.8) but that really does put you a long way from the subject.
Well done Panny, this is the lens the system seriously lacked for semi-pro / enthusiast people shooters.
I've gone for the 75.  I'm too old now to find pretty models - my friends' children, who were great when they were twenty, are now all thirty, grrr!  No need for a portrait lens.
