(FT4) No new MFT camera coming at PhotoPlus.

That will not come as a surprise. But Olympus and Panasonic will not announce any new MFT camera at PhotoPlus this year. Instead we can expect both to show their Leica 100-400mm and Zuiko 300mm prototype lenses. Don’t know yet if they will also show some other new MFT lens…would be nice!

DxO reviews the Tamron 14-150mm MFT lens: “Accessibly-priced addition to the range”

Share

DxO_tamron

DXO (Click here) tested the Tamron 14-150mm MFT lens:

Although the Tamron isn’t quite up to the optical performance of the equivalent offering from Panasonic, it isn’t bad by any means, particularly at the shorter focal lengths. In fact, it is very similar in performance to the original 14-140mm f/4-5.8 ASPH. The large zoom range makes lenses like this particularly attractive to video users, and at around half the price of the new Panasonic model, the main draw will be the accessibility. However, the slightly longer reach, compact dimensions and durable metal construction all add to the appeal.

The lens can be purchased in many stores like for example here on [shoplink 47166 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink].
