So that is not a rumor for you? A new lens for MFT? if you don’t like SLRmagic no problem, but to say that I advertise them is really crazy…

3 years ago |I don’t think he meant advertising for SLRmagic. I think he meant your layout in general. The real estate for ads is more (or seems more) than rumors.
I like your site but I don’t respect your site due to this imbalance.
Apparently, I’m not the only one.

Olympus (maybe not Panasonic) really needs this advertising in order to increase sales. Increased sales will lead to the development of more m/43 cameras and lenses.
If this site, or any site that places Olympus ads suddenly stops doing so, then the cameras and lenses you are dying to learn about have less of a chance of seeing the light of day.
I think the ads are beneficial for everyone, and are bearable/not intrusive to the rest of the content of the site.

LOL! I’m sure they meant for it to be the other way around, unless it’s really expensive and makes crappy photos.

Though even if corrected, I think SLRmagic still has a long way catching up with the price of a pinhole lens

3 years ago |Steve Huff really likes this lens and its only $77 on eBay right now. I’m not a big fan of novelty lenses, but its certainly cheap enough, and slrmagic’s service is said to be good – so its not a huge investment. Maybe its something nice to have in your bag of tricks even if you only get a handful of usable shots from it.
