Panasonic Lumix S mirrorless lenses MTF charts and lens design diagrams

Leica already has two APS-C L-mount mirrorless cameras (Leica TL2 and Leica CL) and a few lenses.
In an interview with Dpreview a few months ago Sigma confirmed their plans to develop APS-C lenses for L-mount, while Panasonic said that they will not make APS-C lenses for L-mount:
Canon to accelerate development of new mirrorless products (2018 financial results are out)

Canon’s 2018 financial results are out:
- Canon expects its annual operating profit to drop for the first time in three years
- Canon forecasts an operating profit of 325 billion yen ($2.97 billion) for 2019, down 5.2 percent from 342.95 billion yen a year earlier – the first decline since 2016
