Digital Photography Now has posted a nice article with exciting news for Micro 4/3 format camera users. Schneider Kreuznach, a venerable German designer and manufacturer of high quality optics, has decided to focus on development of a new line of lenses specifically for Micro 4/3 cameras.

The first lens to be offered will be a 14mm f2. It is reported to have lightning fast autofocus and complete electronic integration with Olympus and Panasonic Micro 4/3 cameras. The lens will be manufactured in Germany. The company has also indicated that it is focusing the Micro 4/3 camera system, and will offer more lenses in the future.

This is very exciting news for me. I have recently been shooting some old cameras, including a 1949 Zeiss 35mm camera, equipped with a 45mm f2.8 Xenon, manufactured by Schneider Kreuznach.
