-

- come with new kit lens, Leica 20/1.4

- price $800 if body only

Riiiight. All this, including better EVF + battery life + more Fn buttons which all normally go ! And I have yet to mention a non-existent / not even in the planning stage PL 20mm F1.4...

I am not the one who brought this up and the likelihood of this happening is doubtful (and especially as a kit lens but this part does not matter) but a PL 1.4/20mm with weathersealing, and hopefully built Ois, would be one of my two dream lenses and my most used lens for sure

I see a lot of love for the otherwise slow and noisy 20mm F1.7 and probably a PL F1.4 WS version could attract some people but since the 25mm F1.4 (even in its MK II version doesn't have OIS (and from my experience with the original F1.4 with the GX8 IBIS, doesn't need), I am doubtful a wider angle version would provide OIS.

40mm fov equivalent is my favorite focal length and imo the best focal length for street photography

Harold

i agree it is unlikely to happen but know it would be very useful when photographing static subjects in dim light

Harold

And it would probably hike the price and the size / weight of the thing... Since most recent and semi-recent cameras have decent to excellent IBIS, my vote would go to lower size / weight / cost.
