In the new lens road map, 10 lenses are shown, which will become available in 2007. However, we know these are too small a number. We are going to launch far larger number of lenses. Our origin is optics, and we are determined to accelerate our lens offering capability now. We are in the process of completing such capabilities in response to the needs by customers.
Q. Are there any quantitative targets or goals? A. Sony are said to announce additional 21 lenses. This is a very ambitious plan. However, we wish to do more than they do. I cannot tell you any specific target now, but the determination exists and I intend to proceed with more restructuring to beef up the lens development capability. ======== I am very glad to hear they realize they need more new lenses. This was my one major concern in switching back. Of course, talk is one thing, and actual production is another, but it does sound like they are committed to improving their lens lineup. Good news!
