The Noktor 50mm f/0.95 is out of Stock on their official website (Noktor.com). But if you want that lens you can get it on eBay right now (Click here)! I own the lens and I posted some image samples here and here. A short video made with the lens is available here. The lens fits on your MicroFourThirds camera without the need of any adapter. What’s my opinion about the lens? In short, don’t expect sharp images at 0.95. But I like the soft creamy results, and the lens is sharp enough when shooting videos.

Check out the auction on eBay: Noktor 50mm f/0.95 (Item location: Edmonton, AB, Canada)

Look for the epxensive but very good Canon 50mm f/0.95 if you absolutely need a good image quality wide open!

Olympus US just launched a new Cash Back action. And this time it is a particularly interesting offer! You can trade in your “old” camera (from every brand) and you will get cash to buy an Olympus camera.

But now the funniest part: They also created a Digital Camera Value Estimator that calculates the value of your camera!

I would never trade in my Olympus E-P1 but I still own an old Pentax K10D. I used the estimator and Olympus US would give me $178.00 for it! To bad that I am located in Europe
Anyway, you would probably get more for your camera if you sell it on eBay

I guess it’s a good moment to shop for the Olympus E-PL1 ($519 on amazon) or the Olympus E-P2!
