Leica DG Nocticron 42.5 f/1.2 First Look video by WDC.

WhatDigitalcamera posted the Leica DG Nocticron 42.5 f/1.2 First Look. And LLoyd Chambers writes quite an interesting note about the OIS feature of the lens:

I’m not a fan of optical stabilization, because it does not improve imaging performance and in this case, I’d want to use it on the Olympus E-M1, which has superb in-body image stabilization. So those extra lens elements just make the lens heavier and more expensive and more complex and more prone to alignment errors. Well, it is what it is.

Sure OIS doesn’t improve the IQ on Panasonic cameras???

P.S.: I take the chance to ask our European readers if they found any preorder option in Europe! I haven’t :(
