YOKOHAMA, Japan--Panasonic at CP+ unveiled its 2010 lens roadmap for the Micro Four Thirds system. The Japanese firm showed off its latest Lumix DMC-G2 and G10 Micro Four Thirds camera at the inaugural photo tradeshow in Japan, and at a small corner was a placard with details for upcoming lenses.

Before the end of the year, the firm is expected to announce the 100-300mm F4-5.6 Mega O.I.S. telephoto lens, 14mm F2.5 fixed optics and the 8mm F3.5 fisheye glass. However, these lenses were not showcased at the event.

Panasonic did not reveal when these lenses will be available, except that they are slated to roll out this year.

The Japanese firm also displayed its latest Lumix point-and-shoot lineup at CP+. The rugged Lumix DMC-FT2 was placed in an ice box at minus 8 degrees Celsius, and the GPS-enabled Lumix DMC-TZ10 had a computer connected to it to show how its positioning system works.
