All of the rumors for this camera state a 24-70mm f2.8-5.6 (equivalent) lens. That means the actual lens is 15-44mm f2.8-5.6, not f1.8-3.7. At no time in the history of camera rumors have I ever seen the aperture also quoted as equivalent.

Expecting this camera to have fast red ring L glass is just wishful thinking.

Speaking of wishful thinking, expecting customers to pay $1299 for a 24-70 f/4.5-9 (e) goes way beyond wishful thinking IMO.

So while I agree it's very strange to see the apertures expressed as 135 equivalents (irresponsible even) for me it's the only way the rumors can make any sense.

Time will tell.
