We know from top sources that Olympus will launch a new 25mm f/1.2 lens this year. One of the sources told me that there could be a short delay with the lens announcement. The lens was expected to be announced this summer. Now the best bet for the announcement is September (Photokina).

But before that lens Olympus will definitely launch the already leaked 30mm f/3.5 macro lens.

Bit of history: Olympus OM system had two f/1.2 lenses: The [shoplink 56524 ebay]50mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 56525 ebay]55mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

GX80 review by CameraLabs: “Panasonic has its mojo back here”

Share

Our friend Gordon from CameraLabs posted the full Panasonic GX80/85 review:

The fact is there’s little to complain about here and a great deal to like – especially when you consider its affordable price. If you’re looking for a mid-range interchangeable lens camera, there’s little that’ll match its overall feature-set and performance for the money. I really feel Panasonic has its mojo back here and I’m happy to award it my Highly Recommended rating. I’ll be even happier to see the upgrades rolled-out to its humped models, the G7 and GH4.
