The yet only German store accepting preorder on the new Panasonic 100-400mm lens is Cyberport. But they made quite a typo and you would have to pay 5.999 Euro or it. I hope they fix this :)

In the meantime the lens got officially announced in Japan (DC.watch). And as leaked yesterday there is also the new CM10 (DC.watch).

Preorder links to the two new MFT lenses:
Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm lens at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto and Panasonic. In EU at WexUK. Fotosidan.
Olympus 300mm f/4.0 PRO lens at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, GetOlympus. In EU at Amazon DE. WexUK.

Panasonic is going to launch the successor of the CM1 tomorrow (in Japan only). There is yet no info about the specs of the new CM10 smartphone-camera. The next Panasonic MFT related announcement will happen in February at or shortly before the CP+ show. The GF8 is expected to be announced and we will probably also see some new lens prototype too.

Is Olympus going Full Frame? New 28mm f/2.0 FF lens patent!

Share

Oly_FF

What you see here above is the patented optical design of a new Olympus Zuiko 28mm f/2.0 lens for….Full Frame mirrorless! This means Olympus is considering to keep the doors open for a possible new FF system.

It would make sense to me to offer a sort of “Macro Four Thirds system”. A step up option for MFT owners who need a larger sensor size. Would you like that?

Patent via Egami.

300mm PRO lens test (with Dot Sight)

Share

300mmDOT

DC.watch (google translation here) reviewed the new 300mm PRO lens. And they also show us the first 300mm PRO tested with the Dot Sight accessory. DC.watch made a full sharpness, stabilization, vignetting, teleconverter test and the lens performs exceptionally good. They also tested the stabilization system with the Panasonic GX8 and also hear the results are very good.

The only real “complain” can be the high price compared to comparable APS-C telephoto lenses. But you get what you pay for: Superb quality and world’s best in class stabilization.
