Re: I'd like to know too as the Panny is --->

Hmm ... I may be wrong ... the DPR news item mentions cosmetic and coating changes, not optical design, but someone asserts in comments that it is new (different number of elements than the MkI). I can't corroborate that.

I don't know of a decent review, but PCmag did use imatest, and found it soft at 150mm. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2477116,00.asp

FWIW, a lot of people claim that the Panny Mk I is soft at the long end too, but that has not been my experience at all, nor can I see a big difference between the I and II in tests (if there were, I'd switch in a heartbeat).
