Olympus 8mm f1.8 Fisheye review at CameraLabs.

Share

8mmPRO

Gordon from CameraLabs (Click here) posted the full Olympus 8mm PRO lens review:

Ultimately the Olympus 8mm f1.8 Fisheye may be larger and higher-priced than rivals, but it’ll out-perform them on the feature-front, particularly in terms of aperture. If you’ll exploit these features, it’s well worth spending the extra and comes highly recommended. I also commend Olympus on pushing the envelope here and producing a lens that’s truly different from anything that’s come before for any format. It’ll be a reason for some photographers to select Micro Four Thirds as their next format.

Interesting note: Zeiss seems to have killed the Touit lens line.

Share

[shoplink 53857 ebay][/shoplink]

As you know two years ago Zeiss launched a [shoplink 53857 ebay]Touit lens series for Fuji X and Sony E-mount system[/shoplink]. Zeiss always said they would not offer those lenses for the MFT system. Well it looks like we didn’t miss anything because according to latest SAR rumor Zeiss “freezed” the Touit lens development. And it’s very likely Zeiss will completely kill the lens line. The reasons are two:

– Fuji X mount sales where sloppy because Fuji offers same quality (or better quality) X lenses for less money
– Sony is now focusing on Full Frame

In short: We didn’t miss anything. That said, it’s still pity to not have Zeiss on the MTF board.
