43 Rumors

I have been thinking of buying this lens. How sharp is it? Would I be better off buying the Panny 8mm 3.5 & the Olympus 12mm or would I be happy with the results from this lens. Zoom aside. It would be for landscapes and architecture mainly.. so I am concerned about nice sharp images… [...]

Hey Gage, does the 25mm chatter.. like it apparently does on the pen models?

My photography students keep buying Olympus micro four thirds cameras when they see the work I am producing, they have a close look at the prints, the size of my camera and consider that my kit is cheaper than one of their lenses. And a few Voitalander f0.95 25mm lenses have been sold as well. [...]

Yes… no matter the speed it has to be sharp, tack sharp or it isn’t going anywhere near my M4/3 body…

Olympus 25mm f1.4 or 1.8 weather sealed – very high quality (to match Panasonic / Leica that doest chatter) metal Sharp, high quality zoom fast – similar quality to 12-60 (prefer weather sealed) 300 f 2 weather sealed metal 17mm f2.0 weather sealed metal 45mm f 1.8 in a weather sealed metal body, same optics [...]

Scott at Mainline Photographics in Sydney has it on pre order too… at very good price I might add…

Yesterday I was able to play with this beautiful little camera at a demo by the Olympus rep at the local camera store. At first it was uncomfortable in my hand, worried it might slip out, but as soon as we put on the extra grip, it become very comfortable in my hands. My personal [...]

I must admit that is what I am thinking too

Hey nice to meet you Ross…

I am showing lots of photographs taken with a Pen at the Mercure Sydney Potts Point for the next three months… you should drop in and check them out… Opening tomorrow night at six if you want to say hello…

Wow… weather sealing on the way… can’t wait to see a weather sealed camera…

Will be interesting to see what happens if/when there the business is sold…

For a pro model size isn’t as important as other features. We now have a great choice in very small micro four thirds models. Quality and features are will what set the pro model apart. As always we will be expecting sensor performance improvements. But the main thing will be other exciting features that are [...]

Beautiful looking camera, and a great set of features…. already on my wish list… like the three programmable buttons… am looking forward to seeing what the grips look like…

hmm.. maybe I will get this one, instead of the EPL-3… and then it can become my pocket camera with a pancake… then I can save my dollars for the PRO pen… i do like the look of this… and the size… will have to check out the feature and button set tomorrow when it [...]

Does anyone know how they calculated the hyperfocal focusing scales on the Voitlander? circle of confusion? Seeking clarity on that one please.

ooohhhh.. I can’t wait to see the black one… with a black 12 mm lens too…

Very, very sexy…

If this is going to be the prosumer model, I can’t wait to see what the pro model is like…

Stunning…. Just simply stunning…. I can see that the 22mm will be on my shopping list… Will have to wait to see what the EPl-3 is like tooo…

It is very exciting to see the system go pro spec…. What a beautiful lens…

I am convinced a 12-60mm will come with the pro pen.. I will be looking forward to that anouncement latter in the year. An adaptor for the 4/3 lenses will also come out… And you all will be happy… There will be a merger of the two systems, which is why we are not seeing [...]

I am convinced it will come with the pro pen..

I will be looking forward to that anouncement latter in the year.

Great news all round here… New lens hey… I still think that means a new kit zoom too… But probably not the pro zoom that I am wishing for… I think I will be upgrading my EPL-1 to the EPL-3 as the moving screen sounds like fun, and I am not one for flashes… Though [...]
