It’s official! The Leica SL has been announced and you can follow the full coverage at Mirrorlessrumors. The camera has been made with Panasonic tech and even uses Panasonic V-LOG!!! See the
Leica also makes one bold claim: It says this is the world’s fastest autofocusing camera! If it’s made by Panasonic than we can expect a lot from the GH5!

MirrorlessRumors just posted the very first images of the Leica Sl T-mount Full Frame system camera. The news matters for us too because Leica worked a lot with Panasonic to create the camera. I can’t wait to hear what exactly has been done by Panasonic (probably processor, video tech, autofocus tech and maybe even sensor).
And if Panasonic ever decides to go Full Frame Mirrorless they may join the Leica system!

Ray: “Some of your readers, who use 4/3 lenses with m4/3 cameras like I do, may be interested in this little device that I created. It’s like the GoWing Lens Flipper, but as they don’t make them for 4/3 lenses, I decided to make my own: http://australianimage.com.au/wordpress/index.php/a-flipping-good-idea/. It was very easy to make, the materials were surprisingly easy to source and it works very well.”
Alexandru: “So a few weeks ago the shutter on my Elikon 535 (soviet era camera made by BeLomo) stopped working. Opened the little sucker up to fix it but thanks high quality soviet era engineering and built quality that turned out to be somewhat impossible.
Didn’t want to completely scrap the little guy as I was quite fond of the way it rendered images. The Minar/Minitar-2 35mm f/3.8 lens is a direct descendant of the Minitar-1 32mm f/2.8 lens found on the LC-A one of the most iconic cameras of the Lomography movement , so it would of been a shame to never use it again.
I decided to adapt the optics from the Elikon 535 for use on my Micro 4/3 cameras.
First thing that I had to do was to measure what will be the future flange distance of the lens.
I tore down the camera completely and removed the lens. Had to completely disassemble the optics and clean each of the 4 elements as time and poor seals haven’t been kind on it.
Created a 3D design in Sketchup and with the help of my 3D printer and an old C-mount to Micro 4/3 adapter I created a simple manual focus , fixed aperture lens. I thought the cog design will honor it’s heritage :).
Biggest issues were getting the flange distance just right so the lens can focus from close up to infinity and making sure it is going to be centered over the sensor.
This is how the lens came out.

I got an important information about the Olympus E-M1II. I have been told that Olympus actually plans to release the camera at Photokina 2016. But if the competition will introduce major competitor cameras by early 2016 already than Olympus is ready to launch the E-M1II by early 2016 too. And in that case if will feature the new Sony 20Megapixel MFT sensor and have handheld high-resolution shooting mode.
The competitor cameras could be the GH5, A7000 and Fuji X-PRO2. If those will be announced in 4-5 months than Olympus will step into the battle too.
